Claremont

Tucked into the rolling Appalachian Plateau of eastern Ohio, Claremont is a place whose character is shaped by the wooded ridges and narrow valleys of Belmont County. The Ohio River lies east of this inland community, beyond a landscape of farms, small settlements and former industrial areas. Belmont County was established in 1801, and coal mining became an important part of the wider region’s economic history during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Claremont remains a small-scale setting rather than an urban centre, reflecting the settled uplands between Ohio’s river corridor and its interior.
