Narod, California

Narod is an unincorporated area in southwestern San Bernardino County, California, United States, located 35 miles (56 km) east of downtown Los Angeles, with an estimated population of 1,691 as of 2020. Narod is not an official census-designated place. However, Narod is on the list of unincorporated areas and street maps in San Bernardino County, according to the United States Geological Survey. It appears on the Ontario U.S. Geological Survey Map.

The area is thought to have taken its name from a railroad executive named A.E. Doran, who reversed his name. It is thought that when the Southern Pacific Transportation Company extended its tracks through the area, A.E. Doran had the task of naming the various sidings and stations along the route. Because Doran already named another siding for himself, he reversed his name. And the name stuck.

Once a recognized community in its own right, most of the historical Narod area has been incorporated into the neighboring city of Montclair. The remainder remains unincorporated, and addresses in the area show "Ontario" as the place name, due to it bordering the city of Ontario to the east. The area also borders Montclair to the north and west, and Chino to the south.
