Highland, California, unfolds across a landscape where the gentler slopes of the San Bernardino Mountains begin to soften into the vast expanse of the Inland Empire. It lies 4.8 miles east-north-east of San Bernardino, CA (from San Bernardino, CA: bearing 73°T), and is situated 9.4 miles east of Rialto. The air here, particularly as the sun dips low, carries a dry, dusty warmth, punctuated by the faint, sweet scent of eucalyptus from windbreaks that stand like stoic sentinels against the prevailing breezes. Low-slung buildings, often painted in muted earth tones, huddle close to wide, sun-baked streets, their roofs reflecting the intense, clear light of Southern California. Scattered pockets of citrus groves, their dark green leaves a vibrant contrast to the pale, dry grasses that carpet the surrounding hills, hint at a more agricultural past, while the distant, hazy outline of the San Gabriel Mountains provides a constant, majestic backdrop. The story of Highland is one of transition, from a fertile agricultural hub to a more suburbanized community, its roots entwined with the development of the surrounding region. Early settlers were drawn to the fertile soil, cultivating citrus and walnuts, and the legacy of that time can still be glimpsed in the tenacious trees that persist. The local economy, while diversifying, still carries echoes of this agricultural heritage, with a palpable sense of community fostered by generations who have watched Highland grow. The presence of institutions that serve the wider San Bernardino Valley has also shaped its character, drawing people who appreciate the slightly more removed, yet still accessible, feel of Highland, a place where the quiet hum of everyday life is often accompanied by the distant murmur of traffic from the more urbanized areas beyond.
