Tour Overview

Enjoy the flora and fauna on this short walking tour through the Claremont district.

Claremont was named by real estate developer Duncan Taggert (also spelled Taggart) in 1879. Along this section of the Temescal Creek, you will learn about early developers and the racially motivated birth of single-family housing ordinances. You'll also learn about the great variety of flora and fauna found in this neighborhood, where you can walk along the flowing creek as it meanders through front yards along the street.

And of course, if you'd like to help us continue our work, please donate here. Thank you!
