Description

Victoria Colunga (maiden name Saldivar) stands atop a hill in Grand Terrace. During the 1940s the family called this location "Jap Hill" as it was the place where Japanese citizens were held before being sent to internment camps across the state during World War II. In the background you can see the Cooley Ranch, the Santa Ana River wash, Mount Slover and into the South Colton community. Part of the album "Jap Hill in Colton March 25, 1954." The family would often visit this spot for picnics and outings especially after church on Sundays.
