The City of Montclair is a full-service city approximately 35 miles east of Los Angeles via Interstate 10. The 5.4 square-mile community is located at the western edge of the Inland Empire near the convergence of San Bernardino, Los Angeles and Riverside counties. Montclair, which was incorporated on April 25, 1956, has a population of approximately 36,664 residents (2010 Census). The city has been home to Montclair Plaza, a 1.2-million square foot regional shopping center anchored by Nordstrom, Macy's, JCPenney, and Sears, since 1968. Montclair is also in close proximity to the prestigious Claremont Colleges, Cal Poly Pomona, University of La Verne, and several private and community colleges. The Montclair Transcenter is a multi-modal transportation hub along Metrolink's San Bernardino line and is planned as the future terminus for the Metro Gold Line light rail. The Transcenter is also served by public transit operated by Omnitrans, Foothill Transit, and the Riverside Transit Agency. Montclair prides itself on being a full-service city, providing a high level of services to its residents.
