TheCucamonga Valley AVA, a designatedAmerican Viticultural Area, is in the valley region. It was a major site ofwine production in the late 19th through mid−20th centuries, before regional urban expansion withland development andsuburbanization spread into the area.
The demographics of the Cucamonga Valley have been shifting in recent years. The population ofEuropean Americans, who once constituted a large majority, is on the decline while the population ofLatinos andAfrican Americans is growing. Unlike most ofSouthern California, there is not a particularly strong representation ofAsian Americans in the Cucamonga Valley, although it is steadily increasing. The city ofRancho Cucamonga has the highest population of Asian Americans in the Cucamonga Valley, at 9.0% of the population.[citation needed]
