Description From Owner:

Pop. 620. Part of the Town of Pickering, Reg. Mun. of Durham, on C. Rds. 1 & 5, 46 km. NE of Toronto.
The community, settled in the early 1 840s, was first called Noble's Corners because of Thomas Noble's grocery store. In 1851 a post office was opened and called Claremont.
The name was suggested by W. H. Mitchell, who handled conveyancing for the settlers by walking to Toronto to register documents. Claremont in France was his ancestral home
Claremont was the home of painter Tom Thomson whose work influenced the Group of Seven, formed in 1919, two years after Thomson drowned in Canoe L. in Algonquin Park.
