Renting an Apartment in Montclair
Montclair is bordered by Pomona to the West, Claremont and Upland to the
North, Ontario to the East and unincorporated San Bernardino County (near Chino)
to the South. Montclair is in the Pomona Valley and part of the Inland Empire
region in the Greater Los Angeles Area. The San Bernardino Freeway (10 Fwy.)
runs through the northern part of the city.
The earliest known inhabitants of the area were from the Serrano tribe of Native
Americans. The Serrano established their village along a creek named Arroyo de
los Alisos, now named San Antonio Creek, which flowed along a route that is now
Mills Avenue, the western border of the city.
In 1897, a "Township of Marquette" was founded within the borders of the modern
city of Montclair. In 1900, a 1000 acre (4 kmē) tract of land was surveyed and
named "Monte Vista". A small settlement to the south of Monte Vista was
established in 1907 and named "Narod". Throughout the first half of the 20th
century, the settlement was largely devoted to citrus orchards. The Monte Vista
tract experienced growth in residential development after the Second World War,
and the tract was incorporated as the city of Monte Vista on April 25, 1956. Due
to conflict with the Post Office, which refused to open an office in Monte Vista
due to a name conflict with a community in Northern California, the city was
renamed Montclair on April 8, 1958.
