As early as 1914, William Harvey, the original owner of the station, was serving the agricultural and motoring needs of the Cucamonga region. Built in 1915, the Cucamonga Service Station continued to serve motorists after this highway became part of U.S. 66 in 1926, until the station closed around 1972. After the urging of concerned citizens and the historical preservation association of Rancho Cucamonga, the city council designated it a historic landmark in 2009.
