The Face of Chaffey College

Founded in 1883 as a private college, Chaffey College represents the vision of George and William Chaffey, who founded the City of Ontario in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.

The face of Chaffey has changed quite a bit in the 126 years since the College was founded, but an important constant remains:  the commitment to providing a high-quality, affordable education.

The original campus was in downtown Ontario, moving to Euclid Avenue in 1901 and actually sharing the same space as Chaffy High School.  In 1960, the College was move to Rancho Cucamonga where it occupies 200 acres of rolling lawns and native foliage in the foothills of the majestic San Gabriel mountains.

Today the College has developing campuses in Fontana and Chino, expanding services and educational opportunities to residents throughout the Inland Empire.
