About Pomona

With a population of about 155,000 people, Pomona ranks as the 35th largest city in California.

In a 1875 contest, the city in aptly named after the Roman goddess Pomona, creator of fruitful abundance. Great name, but the odd thing was that at this time, there were no fruit trees in the vicinity. 

The city grew from a settlement by Spaniards that moved to the region in the 1830' when California was part of Mexico.  The Anglo-Americans came in mass in the 1840's and the dam burst with the combination of the gold rush and defeat of Mexico in the War of 1846 with America.

By the 1880's the railroad arrived, which resulted in the expansion of local agricultural efforts; citrus in particular boomed.  The city was incorporated in 1888.

By the 1920's Pomona was know as the Queen of the Citrus Belt and had one of the highest per capita income rates in the country. Religions institutions were always played an important role in the history of Pomona.  Evidence of the sophistication is illustrated in the splendid architecture of European churches on display in old Pomona..
Today there are more than 120 churches that represent samples of every major world religion. 
Open minded Pomona citizens elected Norma Torres, the first woman of Guatemalan heritage as mayor.

Today, the economy of Pomona has more real home spun industry in town, as opposed to the many cities that produce no essentials and depend largely on a government check.
