Claremont

Claremont has functioned as a college town in California’s Inland Empire since the late 19th century. Set beneath the San Gabriel Mountains, it occupies the eastern fringe of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, while its historic centre, the Village, grew around a Santa Fe railway stop. Pomona College, founded in 1887, anchors the Claremont Colleges consortium; its seven institutions give the city an academic rhythm unusual for its size. The California Botanic Garden concentrates on plants native to the state, bringing a distinctly Californian focus to local cultural life.
