A small industrial city of just under 14,000 residents, Claremont has lots to offer the leaf-peeper and outdoor adventure-seeker alike. Its natural resources provide easy access to fishing and mountain biking and hiking trails. Meanwhile, its downtown Main Street, though hampered in the retail area by the presence of a Wal-Mart nearby, has undergone a recent revitalization effort that’s made a farmers market and concerts fun weekly occurrences all summer long.
