Claremont

Claremont is an excellent place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Welcome to Claremont

Located on the eastern edge of Los Angeles County, Claremont is an excellent place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. With prestigious colleges setting the tone, Claremont possesses a reputation for sophistication and stunning historic architecture. The San Gabriel Mountain Range is just north of the city, making Claremont feel like the perfect tree-lined sanctuary.
 
Back in 1887, the Santa Fe Railroad was the force behind the creation of Claremont. Later, Pomona College was established, and the founders wanted to create a college that reflected their New England heritage. Soon, the town also embodied a similar New England style, and today the town still holds onto its historical roots, creating a down-to-earth community.
