About the city
Los Angeles is the second most populous city in the United States. Metropolitan Los
Angeles Country, with a population of nearly 9 million, stretches eastward from the coast for about 160 km (100 miles) to the San Gabriel Mountains and includes Long Beach, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and about 10 other independent cities. It attracts
millions of visitors from all over the world. With many sights to see, including famous hotels, Mann’s Chinese theater, The Hollywood Walk of Fame, movie stars houses,
beaches, restaurants, parks, shopping malls, Beverly Hills, Disneyland and Macig Mountain all combine to ensure that the City of the Angels will provide any student with a truly unforgettable stay.
CLAREMONT
Located at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains along the eastern rim of Los Angeles
County, Claremont has been called by some "a bit of New England with a sombrero." For
hundreds of years, Serrano Indians made their homes on its soil, only to be driven out by
the Spanish missionaries, Mexican ranchers, and American settlers who put down roots there during the 1800s. A blossoming citrus industry provided additional inhabitants and income and the town would eventually benefit from its role as a station on a passenger rail line heading into L s Angeles. As the twentieth century reached middle age, the railway shut down and the citrus groves gradually vanished. But Pomona College gave birth to five
sister colleges during the 1900s, further solidifying the educational focus of the community, and Claremont grew larger and more populous after World War II, helped by new highways and industrial and residential growth in the greater Los Angeles area.
