This mobile home community was founded in 1947. What likely started as a travel trailer park, looks to now be part trailer park and part RV park. I didn't see any sign of the orange groves, heated pool, shuffleboard or club house that they advertised back then, but this great sign was still there. If you're in the area and looking for a spot to park your RV, you can find this place on Foothill Boulevard in Pomona, CA
