Adelanto - In 1915 a inventor E.H. Richardson founded Adelanto. He built the Adelanto community with money
received from the sale of his patent that was used to develop the Hotpoint Electric Iron. Richardson had dreamed of growing an
orchard oasis in Adelanto. These orchards were famous throughout the state for fresh fruit and cider. The depression was the end
of the Adelanto orchards and they were replaced by poultry ranching.
Today, Adelanto offers new residents affordable homes with the experience of all seasons, from winter
snow to warm summer sun. Because of cool winds from the southwest, the area is nearly a smog free environment.
