Located in Los Angeles County, the city of Pomona has been one of Southern California's major cities for three centuries. However, due to its close proximity to Los Angeles, it is often overlooked. Considering the rapid rate of development that has infused the city over the last couple of decades, Pomona is actually one of the fastest growing cities in all of the Golden State.

With a total population of 149,473 residents as reported in the 2000 census, Pomona has a number of advantages that ensure its future development. Located near San Bernardino County and full of freeways that lead to every major county in Southern California, it is widely acknowledged that Pomona has the potential to be a major business hub.

With large tracts of unused land, Pomona is dedicated to fulfilling this promise by undergoing rapid development. In 2001, Pomona launched its $12 million dollar Mission Promenade Complex and are looking for new ways of maximizing its business opportunities.

With fantastic neighbourhoods and the prototypical laidback Southern California feel, Pomona is an excellent alternative to Los Angeles for people that want to live the California lifestyle but don't want to live in LA. With fantastic shopping exemplified by the nine-block long pedestrian, Pomona Mall, Pomona is one of California's least recognized gems.
