Claremont
Claremont is an eastern San Gabriel Valley city of roughly 37,000 residents at the LA-San Bernardino county line, framed by the 10 freeway to the south and the San Gabriel Mountains rising directly to the north. The city is defined by the Claremont Colleges consortium — seven private higher-education institutions including Pomona College, Harvey Mudd, Claremont McKenna, Scripps, Pitzer, Claremont Graduate University, and Keck Graduate Institute — which anchor its central core and shape its extensive tree canopy, walkable Village district, and academic character.
