Mount Eden recalls Rachel Eden, who bought the sloping east side of the Anderson farm in 1820, and in the 1800s a postmaster combined its name with Mount Hope and Fairmount to coin the name Tremont. Just south of the malls' eastern end lies Claremont Park, bought by the City after the New Parks Act of 1884, on land where Claremont Mansion, built in 1859, first gave the area the Claremont name.
