History:
Adelanto
was founded in 1915 by E. H. Richardson, the inventor of
what became the Hotpoint Electric Iron. He sold his patent
and purchased land. He had planned to develop one of
the first master planned communities in Southern California.
Richardson subdivided his land into one-acre plots, which he
hoped to sell to veterans with respiratory ailments suffered
during World War I. He also hoped to build a respiratory
hospital. While Richardson never fully realized his dream.
Many fruit orchards were planted in these early years which
eventually brought fame to the area for the fresh fruit and
cider that were produced here. During the depression era of
the 1930s, many orchards were replaced by poultry ranches.
With the onset of World War II, the Victorville Army Air
Field was created. While not within the city limits, it was
nearby and within the sphere of influence. It was renamed
for Brigadier General Harold H. George as George Air Force
Base in September, 1950. (now closed ) Adelanto became a
charter city in November 1992 after being originally
incorporated in 1970.
