A notable sanitarium site in the late 19th and early 20th
centuries, the southwestern San Bernardino County area that became
known as Loma Linda, meaning "pretty hill," was originally dubbed
Mound City and now includes the historic communities of Bryn Mawr,
Cottonwood Row, and Idlewild. The place evolved further as a center
for the treatment of medical and mental illness when the
Seventh-day Adventists, particularly one of their visionary
authors, Ellen G. White, recognized the need for another sanitarium
within the geographic triangle formed by the cities of San
Bernardino, Riverside, and Redlands. Citrus fortunes also enlivened
the economy from the 1870s through the World War II years, and Loma
Linda was incorporated as a city in 1970. The world-class Loma
Linda University Medical Center and the Seventh-day Adventists
combine to still shape the area's politics, economy, and culture.
