Montclair, Residential city in San Bernardino County, United States.
Montclair is a residential city in San Bernardino County, California, situated in the Pomona Valley. The city occupies land bordered by several neighboring communities including Pomona, Claremont, Upland, Ontario, and Chino.
The area was originally inhabited by the Serrano people who lived along Arroyo de los Alisos. The region was established as the township of Marquette in 1897 and underwent significant changes in its early development.
The city maintains multiple parks, recreation centers, and community facilities where residents participate in regular programs and seasonal celebrations.
The Montclair Transcenter serves as the main transportation hub, offering connections through Metrolink, Foothill Transit, and Omnitrans services. These transit options provide regular access to Los Angeles and nearby communities throughout the day.
The city adopted the name Montclair in 1958, replacing its previous name Monte Vista to resolve postal complications with another California town. This change was made necessary because mail delivery systems needed distinct names to avoid confusion.
