Colton Overview

Colton is a suburb of San Bernardino in SB County. With a population of close to 55,000, Colton offers residents a suburban lifestyle with plenty of parks, shopping, great places to dine, and outdoor recreation. There's even a family fun park. If you're looking for apartments in Colton, you'll find comfort, convenience, and diverse neighborhoods in a family-orientated community. What's more, if you like warm weather, you'll love the sunny, cloudless days of summer and mild winters in Colton. 

What is the history of Colton?

In 1874, the Slover Mt. Colony Association deeded one square mile of sandy land to the Southern Pacific Railroad, to make its headquarters in the San Bernardino Valley. It was a good move because the railroad helped develop the town and built a large hotel for travelers. The town even got its name from David R. Colton, an official of the Southern Pacific Railroad. However, it wasn't until 1875 that the first train came rolling through. Then, in 1877, the Colton Land and Water Company formed, and the town incorporated as a sixth-class city with a population of less than one thousand. 

How is the weather in Colton?

You can expect weather temperatures to range from 43°F to 96°F throughout the year, with clear, hot, and arid summers.

Hot temperatures usually peak sometime in mid-August, with highs of 96°F and lows down to 64°F. It'll start cooling off in October, and from the end of November to mid-March, highs of 72°F and below are typical. January is the coldest month, with average temperatures between 43°F and 67°F.
