Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
POMONA , a city of Los Angeles county, in southern
California
 , U.S.A., about 33 M. E. of the city of Los Angeles. Pop. (x850) 3634; (1900) 5526 (567 foreign-born); (1910) 10,207. It is served by the Southern Pacific, the San Pedro, Los Angeles &
Salt
  Lake, and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railways
 , and by an inter-urban electric line. The city is about 850 ft. above sea-level, and has a
Carnegie
  library and several parks, including Ganesha park (45 acres), which commands a fine view. At Claremont, about 3 M.
north
 , is Pomona College (1888, co-educational), which in 1908 had 34 instructors and 488 students. Pomona is in the midst of a prosperous fruit region, devoted especially to the growing of oranges. Orchards of oranges, lemons, apricots, peaches and prunes surround the city for miles, and some olives are grown; alfalfa and
sugar
 -
beets
  are raised in large quantities in the immediate neighbourhood. Pomona was settled by a
colony
  of fruit-growers in 1875, and was chartered as a city in 1888.
