The City of Chino is centrally located in the western portion of the Inland Empire, in the lush valley below the San Gabriel Valley Mountains and north of Norco Corona area. The city was Incorporated in 1910. Chino is also a well know Dairy Farm Preserve. Early Portuguese Settles brought there long established traditions of making cheeses and milk with them from the old country and during the early 60's through the late 90's the area thrived and was also well know for its corn, wheat, hay and soy bean crops.

This Urban legend has been around for a log time but many people believe it is true, especially in Chino along the Pomona expressway down towards the Prado Dam, an area well known for its 'Green Fog' The story begins according to the CHP begins with the escape of a prisoner from Chino Men's Prison. The man, when escaping, got his hand caught in the top razor sharp wire and lost his hand when hee sawed his way free, of course leaving his hand behind to be discovered by Prison Guards the next morning who were searching for him.

Recently I have heard that the Coyotes and airplanes have been competing for space at Chino Airport.....Can you imagine trying to land a small plane and having animals run across the main runway in front of you....That enough to make you want to quit flying.....But the problem seems to have subsided now since traps have been set.....And dont worry, these are live traps....The people doing the trapping take them up into the foothills and releases them.
The danger posed by the coyotes resulted in airport officials recently hiring a private contractor to capture the animals, and at least five coyotes have been caught......In four separate instances in April, pilots reported spotting coyotes on the runways......The busy public airport recorded more than 400 takeoffs or landings that month.
