The City of Upland was incorporated in San Bernardino County on May 15, 1906, and is nestled at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains.

During the 20th century it has developed into a residential and retail community in which it maintains its country and urban ambiance. Upland has also retained its charm of the past. The Upland Town Center is a quiet, leisurely place to shop in antique stores, custom shops, and visit fine restaurants. Each Thursday evening (during spring and summer) the Town Center is host to the "Second Avenue Market".
