Claremont

A charming college town that has been planting its roots (and its trees), since 1907; Claremont is a unique city tucked comfortably in the Foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. With an abundant variety of trees, including mature oaks and towering elms which line some of city’s most beautiful streets, Claremont takes pride in its tree lined streets and numerous community parks. Aside from trees, Claremont is renowned for its seven higher-education institutions known collectively as The Claremont Colleges, whose prestige continues to draw students from across the country and around the world. Due to its large number of tress and residents with doctorates, it is appropriately known as “the City of Trees and PhDs.”
