| About Pomona
- Pomona is a city located in Los Angeles County, California,
in the eastern San Gabriel Valley. As of the 2000 census,
the city had a total population of 149,473. In 2005,
its population was estimated as 160,815 [1]. Pomona
is the 5th largest city in Los Angeles County (after
Los Angeles, Long Beach, Glendale, and Santa Clarita).
Pomona is best known as the location of California
State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona).
This university was established on the site of breakfast
cereal magnate W.K. Kellogg's massive ranch located
on the city's west side. It is also the home of the
Los Angeles County fairgrounds. While a fair in the
nation's most populous county might seem quaint, Cal
Poly is one of several major agricultural research facilities
in the state, and the fair's livestock exhibits are
a noted attraction. (Other major California agriculture
schools include Fresno State, UC Davis, and Chico State.)

Living in Pomona
People of Pomona - Pomona is a very
diverse city, with pockets of high-end housing near
the Fairplex, well kept historic homes in the Lincoln
Park, Wilton Heights, and Hacienda Park neighbrohoods
in the center of the city, and master planned development
in the Phillips Ranch section. However, much of the
southern part of Pomona is densely populated tracts
of apartments and single family homes. These neighborhoods
are fairly poor and often have high levels of gang activity,
graffiti, and crime. The Downtown was moribund for decades,
but has since experienced a resurgence with concert
halls, nightclubs, and art galleries improving the area's
nightlife. High priced lofts have been developed in
the Downtown and are selling well.
The majority of Pomona's population consist of Latinos,
and the main industry is manufacturing. There is a historically
significant concentration of blacks in the northern
part of town, although many of them have continued to
move to the east to places like Rialto and Riverside.
Also, there is a fairly large Vietnamese American community
located in south Pomona, including a Buddhist temple.
