San Clemente (/ˌsæn kləˈmɛntə/ san kleh-MEN-teh; Spanish for ‘St. Clement‘[6] Spanish: [saŋ kleˈmente][7]) is a coastal city in southern Orange County, California, United States. It was named in 1925 after the Spanish colonial island (which was named after a Pope from the first century).[8] Located in the Orange Coast region of the South Coast of California, San Clemente’s population was 64,293 in the 2020 census.[5] Situated roughly midway between Los Angeles and San Diego, San Clemente is a popular tourist destination in Southern California, known for its beaches, Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, and hospitality industry. San Clemente’s city slogan is “Spanish Village by the Sea.”[9]
Some locals anglicize the town’s Spanish name as (/ˌsæn kləˈmɛnti/ san kleh-MEN-tee), with members of the San Clemente Historical Society using both the anglicized and Spanish pronunciations.[10]
