Pomona, California: Home of the Nation's Largest Fair
Nestled between the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountain ranges in Los Angeles County lies the Pomona Valley and the city of Pomona, California. Pomona began its life as a Spanish settlement in the 1830s and by the 1870s it had been opened up to American settlement. The name "Pomona," which was settled upon after a city-naming contest reflected the city's prowess in citrus cultivation, as it is also the name of the ancient Roman goddess of fruit. Modern day Pomona has a population of 152,000, making it the fifth largest city in Los Angeles County. Pomona, CA is a prized destination for its balance of urban lifestyles and superb natural views.
