History & geography

History

W.H. Drew and N.K. Fairbanks formed Mentone Corporation in 1886. They purchased 3,000 acres east of Lugonia colony and north of Crafton colony on the south bank of the Santa Ana River. Within the year, The Santa Fe Railroad also established a stop in 1886. William P. McIntosh surveyed the land for the Mentone corporation and bought most of the land himself. He named the city streets for earth gemstones north–south, and after beach resorts east–west. It was named for Menton, France. A map for the Mentone townsite was filed on February 24, 1888. The Mentone Post Office was opened on May 15, 1891. The Mentone Hotel opened in 1892 and advertised as an inland beach resort with postcards showcasing a full river with sailing boats. The Santa Fe route was part of a tourist route named the "Kite-Shaped Track" from Los Angeles with stops in nearby Riverside, Redlands and San Bernardino. The Mentone Hotel did not prosper and immediately converted into a sanitarium for people with tuberculosis and asthma by 1900. The hotel closed its doors in 1917. Navel orange groves and olive trees became popular in the area. Nearby colonies of Lugonia, Crafton, and Redlands incorporated into the city of Redlands in 1888. The area and most acreages became fruit tree crops. Mentone did not incorporate with Redlands and remains a county jurisdiction with a population near 10,000. Residents colloquially call the town "Mentone Beach".
