RIVERSIDE, CAL., one of the most impor- 

 tant orange-growing centers in the United 

 States, is situated in the southwestern part of 

 California, on the Santa Ana River, ten miles 

 south of San Bernardino and fifty-seven miles 

 east of Los Angeles. The city is the county 

 seat of Riverside County. Transportation is 

 provided by the Southern Pacific, the Atchison, 

 Topeka & Santa Fe and the San Pedro, Los 

 Angeles & Salt Lake railroads, and by the Pa- 

 cific Electric Interurban line. The first settle- 

 ment was known as Jurupa Rancho when it was 

 purchased by the Southern California Colony 

 Association in 1870. It was incorporated a> a 

 city in 1883 and is now governed on the com- 

 mission plan. The population was estimated 

 by the Federal Bureau to be 19,763 in 1916, an 

 increase of 4,551 since 1910. The city has an 

 area of thirty-nine square miles. 



Riverside lies about 900 feet above sea level, 

 and is built on ground which slopes gently to- 

 ward the east. It is a city of beautiful, artistic 

 homes and public buildings, and its wide, clean 

 streets are shaded with luxuriant growths of 

 trees. Especially noteworthy are Magnolia 

 Avenue, a parkway ten miles long and 130 feet 

 wide bordered with pepper trees, and Victoria 

 Avenue, also a parkway, lined with semitrop- 

 ical fruit trees. Because of its healthful climate 

 and attractive environs Riverside is famous as 

 a health resort. 



The people are engaged chiefly in the culti- 

 vation of alfalfa and fruits, especially lemons 

 and oranges. The San Bernardino Valley, in 

 which the city is located, is noted for its abun- 

 dant growth of fine oranges, and Riverside an- 

 nually ships about 6,000 carloads of this fruit. 

 One of the most complete and extensive sys- 

 tems of irrigation is in operation here. The 

 manufacture of Portland cement is also an im- 

 portant industry. The state citrous experi- 

 mental station is located at Riverside, and it 

 has also a Carnegie Library, a handsome $250,- 

 000 courthouse and the Sherman Institute, an 

 Indian school conducted by the government.
