CLERMONT
In 1868 Herring Hooks of Americus, Georgia moved into the area of what was to become Clermont. Mr. Hooks bought most of the surrounding area for $1.00 per acre and moved his family, his orange groves and tomato fields onto part of his property.
Clermont was founded in 1884 and incorporated in 1916. The city is located in south Lake County in suburban central Florida, about 22 miles (35 km) west of the city of Orlando and 22 miles (35 km) southeast of the city of Leesburg.
