geography
The city is located in the southwest of San Bernardino County in California . It is bordered to the south by Chino , to the east by Ontario , to the north by Upland and to the west by the two cities of Claremont and Pomona in Los Angeles County .
Interstate 10 , a major highway connecting California with Florida , runs through Montclair .
Montclair has 36,664 inhabitants (as of the 2010 census). The city extends over an area of approximately 14.3 km², which consists entirely of land; the population density is thus 2565.9 inhabitants per square kilometer. The city center is located at an altitude of 325 meters.
The region's climate is shaped by its geographical location on the edge of the Mojave Desert . The summers are dry and hot, while the winter months are mild and rainy.
history
The first known inhabitants of the region were Indians from the Serrano tribe . They founded a village on Arroyo de los Alisos, now known as San Antonio Creek. The course of the creek roughly followed that of today's Mills Avenue, which marks the western boundary of Montclair.
In 1897, the Township of Marquette was founded in the area of what is now Montclair . Three years later, an area of four square kilometers was measured that became a settlement called Monte Vista . In 1907, Narod was again a smaller settlement in the south of Monte Vista. In the first half of the 20th century, the area was mainly characterized by the cultivation of citrus fruits in orchards. After the Second World War, Monte Vista grew in population, and on April 25, 1956, the city was registered as a city . However, since a parish already had the same name in Northern California, no post office could be established in the new town. For this reason, Monte Vista was officially renamed Montclair on April 8, 1958 .
