This mural in four panels represents the history of Fontana from its founder A.B. Miller, the Citrus Industry, Steelmaker Henry J Kaiser, and modern themes including the local Nascar Racetrack that sits on land that was farmed by Miller and turned into the Kaiser Steel Mill. The mural was created in 2005 by artists Enrique Vidal and John Thongnoi of ThemeScape Art Studios Inc. The cost was $28,000.00.
The murals cover 1400 square feet of the south wall of a flooring company building which was once a Sprouse-Reitz Department Store.
