Aptly named after the Roman goddess of fruit, Pomona was once a prime location for citrus production. Situated in Southern California near Los Angeles on Interstate 10, Pomona was first home to flourishing vineyards then citrus orchards and olive groves.

Today, Pomona is a regional leader in high quality optics, electronic software, glass, cosmetics and paper products. It is strategically located for success in the Pacific Rim marketplace and its growth and revitalization brings a high standard of living to more than 150,000 residents. The Pomona Unified Schools District serves approximately 33,000 students and proximity to seven renowned institutions of higher learning including Cal Poly Pomona, Westech College and Western University of Health Sciences provides Pomona with an array of professional and knowledgeable workers. The city is also a cultural Mecca with more than 1,000 artists represented in 15 art galleries, 450-plus antique dealers and 3,000 historical buildings.
