This article is about a city in Orange County. For the Channel Island, see San Clemente Island.
San Clemente is a city located in Orange County, California. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 49,936. San Clemente is the southernmost city in the county, six miles south of San Juan Capistrano.
Prior to the arrival of the Spanish, the area was inhabited by what came to be known as the Juaneño Indians. After the founding of the Mission San Juan Capistrano, the local natives were conscripted to work for the mission.
The city of San Clemente was founded in 1925 by real estate developer Ole Hanson who named it for San Clemente Island and envisioned it as a Spanish-style coastal resort. In an unprecedented move, he had a clause added to the deeds requiring all building plans to be submitted to an architectural review board. It was incorporated in 1928 with a council-manager government.
In 1968 President Richard Nixon bought one of the original homes, which had been built by one of Hanson's partners. Nixon called it "Casa Pacifica", but it was nicknamed "The Western White House." During his tenure it was visited by both world leaders and croneys, including Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev, Mexican President Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, Japanese Prime Minister Eisaku Sato, Henry Kissinger, and Bebe Rebozo. Following his resignation, Nixon retired to San Clemente to write his memoirs. He later sold the home and moved to New Jersey.
