History

Before the university moved from San Dimas to Pomona, the college had a handful of athletic teams named the "Voorhis Vikings" . They were composed mostly of homeless and orphaned boys of all races who were cared for at the Voorhis School during the ten-year period it operated. ^[3] Despite this background, the university's current athletic programs are named the Cal Poly Pomona Broncos.
