About Claremont, California: Where Academia Met the Open Road
Claremont is an exceptionally picturesque city on the historic path of Route 66, distinguished by its unique blend of academic prestige, natural beauty, and enduring charm. Affectionately known as the "City of Trees and PhDs," this moniker perfectly encapsulates its defining features: an abundance of lush, mature trees lining its streets and the influential presence of the renowned Claremont Colleges.
Established in the 1880s, Claremont's development was deeply connected to education. With the arrival of U.S. Route 66 in 1926, the city, already a budding intellectual and cultural center, gained a new layer of vibrancy. It became a welcoming, refined, and memorable stop for cross-country motorists, offering a distinctive and serene contrast to the more utilitarian roadside towns.
Today, while Interstate 10 drew away through-traffic in the 1970s, Claremont has preserved and elevated its unique character. Its historic corridor, mainly along Foothill Boulevard, retains a timeless charm, while the constant cultural infusion from the colleges ensures a rich array of museums, galleries, and performance venues, making this segment of California Route 66 a destination that stands apart from typical roadside appeal.
