 , 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.
