Clermont is a city in Lake County, Florida, United States, about 22 miles (35 km) west of Orlando and 22 miles (35 km) southeast of Leesburg. The population was 28,742 in 2010. The city is residential in character and its economy is centered in retail trade, lodging, and tourism-oriented restaurants and bars. It is part of the Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Clermont is home to the 1956 Florida Citrus Tower, one of Florida’s first. Clermont was founded in 1884 and named for the French birthplace of A.F. Wrotniski, manager of the Clermont Improvement Company, formed for land development. The city was incorporated in 1916. Much of the county was first developed as orange and other citrus groves, which was the basis of the economy through the mid-20th century. For instance, Apshawa Groves owned and worked large expanses of land in the county. It later adapted as a major real estate company. Tourism also became increasingly important.

The appearance of the historic downtown district has not changed much since 1962.

The population grew 207% from 2000 to 2010, with commensurate economic growth, attracting big box retail stores. In spring 2010, the Clermont Landings shopping center opened, featuring 20 shops and restaurants and the city’s first cinema. Increased pollution from runoff and residential development has hurt the city’s lakes and other natural resources.
