Claremont is home to the Claremont Colleges and other educational institutions, and the city is known for its tree-lined streets with numerous historic buildings.[9] Because of this, it is sometimes referred to as "The City of Trees and Ph.Ds."[1] It was named the best suburb in the West by Sunset Magazine in 2016, which described it as a "small city that blends worldly sophistication with small-town appeal."[10][11] In 2018, Niche rated Claremont as the 17th best place to live in the Los Angeles area out of 658 communities it evaluated, based on crime, cost of living, job opportunities, and local amenities.[12]
The city is primarily residential, with a significant portion of its commercial activity located in "The Village," a popular collection of street-front small stores, boutiques, art galleries, offices, and restaurants adjacent to and west of the Claremont Colleges. The Village was expanded in 2007, adding a controversial[13][14] multi-use development that includes an indie cinema, a boutique hotel, retail space, offices, and a parking structure on the site of an old citrus packing plant west of Indian Hill Boulevard. Claremont also hosts several large retirement communities.[15]
Claremont has been a winner of the National Arbor Day Association's Tree City USA award for 22 consecutive years. When the city incorporated in 1907, local citizens started what has become the city's tree-planting tradition. Claremont is one of the few remaining places in North America with American Elm trees that have not been exposed to Dutch elm disease. The stately trees line Indian Hill Boulevard in the vicinity of the city's Memorial Park.
History
Prior to the establishment of the city of Claremont, the area was frequented by the Serrano, Cahuilla, and Tongva for thousands of years.[16] The Tongva established villages in the area as early as 7000 B.C. and thrived from the freshwater of what the Spanish would call the San Antonio Creek.[16] One well-documented Tongva village, known as Torojoatngna,[17] was located at a place called "Indian Hill" by early American settlers.[16] The village was active until the nineteenth century, housing nearly 200 residents in 1870, yet was eventually abandoned after being ravaged by a smallpox epidemic by 1883.[16]
The city of Claremont was first mapped out by developers in a land boom precipitated by the arrival of transcontinental railroads to Southern California.[18] It was likely named after Claremont, New Hampshire.[19] The early history of the city was closely tied to that of Pomona College, which moved there in 1889.[20] In 1902, a town meeting vote established that east–west streets would be numbered and north–south streets named after colleges and universities.[21] The city was incorporated in 1907.[22]
The citrus groves and open space which once dominated the northern portion of the city have been replaced by residential developments of large homes.[19] Construction of Stone Canyon Preserve, one of the final residential tract developments in the north of the city, commenced in 2003 as part of a complicated agreement between Pomona and the City of Claremont which resulted in the creation of the 1,740-acre (7.0 km2) Wilderness Park. The foothill area also includes the Padua Hills Theatre (a historic site constructed in 1930) and the Claraboya residential area.
Claremont has a Mediterranean climate (Köppen climate classificationCsa). During the summer, temperatures may get very hot, sometimes rising above 100 °F (38 °C). In the autumn, Claremont can experience the gusty "Santa Ana Winds", which can bring fire danger to nearby foothill areas. As winter comes along, most of the city's annual rainfall occurs, which is typical around the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Snow is rare in Claremont, but can be viewed in the nearby San Gabriel Mountains in the winter. In the late spring, Claremont can receive many overcast days due to the strong onshore flow from the ocean. This is typically called "May Gray" or "June Gloom" in the region.

Economy
Top employers
According to the city's 2009 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report,[31] the top employers in the city are:
Claremont has been praised for its vibrant arts and culture scene.[32]
Each year, Claremont holds a springtime folk music festival, hosted by the Folk Music Center Store and Museum.[citation needed] The 35th event took place in May 2018.[needs update][citation needed]
Each July, Ophelia's Jump Productions presents their annual Midsummer Shakespeare Festival at The Sontag Outdoor Theatre in Pomona College.[citation needed] Productions are performed in repertory with local community and civic events and festivities.[citation needed]
The Claremont Village hosts a Pie Day Festival every March 14.[citation needed] In past years, attendees could collect pie recipes as they walked around downtown Claremont and checked out different stores.[34]
In 2019, Claremont made national news after the Claremont United Methodist Church unveiled a nativity scene depicting Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus separated and locked up in individual chain-link pens.[citation needed] This was done to reflect the plight of immigrants and asylum seekers on the U.S. Southern Border in 2019.[citation needed] The church had constructed similarly non-traditional nativity scenes in prior years.[35]
The California Botanic Garden (formerly Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden) contains a very large and diverse collection of California native plants, and is open daily for self-guided walking tours.
The other high school in Claremont is The Webb Schools, a collective name for two privatecollege preparatory schools for grades 9–12, founded by Thompson Webb in 1922.[citation needed] The two schools, officially the Webb School of California (boys' school) and the Vivian Webb School (girls' school), share the same campus in northwest Claremont.[citation needed] Within the campus is the Vivian Webb Chapel, which began initial construction in 1939.[citation needed] It was built by the founder to his wife, Vivian.[citation needed] The Kimberly Bell Tower was added to the chapel in 1955.[45]The Webb Schools is also home to the Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology, America's only accredited museum located on a high school campus.[citation needed]
The Claremont Courier is widely regarded as Claremont's newspaper of record.[46] In 2018, the Courier was named the top community newspaper in California by the California News Publisher's Association.[47] In addition, Claremont High School's students produce the student newspaper The Wolfpacket, with support and printing services from the Courier.[48]
There are also several media outlets based at the Claremont Colleges, including The Student Life, the oldest college newspaper in Southern California,[49] and the radio station KSPC.[50]
Claremont is also planned to eventually connect with the Metro A Line on the Foothill Extension Project, funded in 2024 and planned for completion in 2030. This extension will also provide service to L.A. Union Station via Pasadena.[citation needed]
