The Claremont name dates from a mansion built in 1859 on land that later became nearby Claremont Park, once part of the Morris family estate. After the New Parks Act of 1884, the City bought land for both Claremont Park and Crotona Park, the former Bathgate Woods on the area's eastern edge, which it acquired in 1888.
