Claremont (/ˈklɛərmɒnt/) is a suburban city upon the eastern edge of Los Angeles County, California, United States, 30 miles (48 km) east of downtown Los Angeles. It is in the Pomona Valley, at the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 34,926, and in 2019 the estimated population was 36,266.

Claremont is the home of the Claremont Colleges and other intellectual institutions, and the city is known for its tree-lined streets taking into account numerous historic buildings. Because of this, it is sometimes referred to as “The City of Trees and Ph.Ds.” In July 2007, it was rated by CNN/Money magazine as the fifth best place to live in the United States, and was the highest rated place in California on the list. It was afterward named the best suburb in the West by Sunset Magazine in 2016, which described it as a “small city that blends worldly sophistication once small-town appeal.” In 2018, Niche rated Claremont as the 17th best place to live in the Los Angeles Place out of 658 communities it evaluated, based on crime, cost of living, job opportunities, and local amenities.

The city is primarily residential, with a significant allowance of its public notice activity located in “The Village,” a popular accretion of street-front small stores, boutiques, art galleries, offices, and restaurants neighboring and west of the Claremont Colleges. The Village was expanded in 2007, adding a controversial multi-use improvement that includes an indie cinema, a boutique hotel, retail space, offices, and a parking structure on the site of an outmoded citrus packing forest west of Indian Hill Boulevard.

Claremont has been a winner of the National Arbor Day Association’s Tree City USA rave review 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 long-lasting places in North America following American Elm trees that have not been exposed to Dutch elm disease. The stately trees stock Indian Hill Boulevard in the vicinity of the city’s Memorial Park.

The city hosts several large retirement communities, among them Pilgrim Place, the Claremont Manor and Mt. San Antonio Gardens.
