Description
Children, Oscar and Ruben Colunga, pose in matching outfits with an older relative and their mother Victoria Colunga (maiden name Saldivar), overlooking Colton from atop a hill in what is now called 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 and into the valley. 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.
