Living in Bloomington, CA: what to set up and who to call

Bloomington has no town government of its own, so San Bernardino County runs its elections and most services, and its children attend Colton Joint Unified School District. The closest public drop-off to Bloomington is Agua Mansa Permanent HHW Facility, 3 miles out; the town decides whether residents may use it.

Bloomington has no town government. It’s a census-designated place in San Bernardino County, so the county and regional agencies provide most services. This page answers what we can; the same answers appear on Bloomington’s town page under “Getting set up”.
