The Claremont Neighborhood Association (CNA) was founded in 1945 and is the second oldest neighborhood association in the South End, and one of the oldest in Boston.

It consists of the 14 blocks bounded by West Newton Street, Camden Street, Southwest Corridor Park and the median of Tremont Street.

Today, residents of the Claremont neighborhood reflect a microcosm of the diversity of Boston: single, married, old, young, gay, straight, ethnically diverse, students, professionals and retired.
