Paramount in Pomona?

An anonymous reader submits the following:

“Here’s a tip you might find interesting. Sometime during the past few weeks, a mistake has appeared in Google Maps: The place name ‘Paramount’ has appeared on the west side of Pomona. I’ve lived in this part of town for more than 50 years, and Paramount has never been a local name. It should say Westmont if anything. I contacted Google Maps, but so far there has been no change.”

He or she is right. View the map here.

“During the same period of time, the name Narod and Sunsweet also appeared near Ontario. I do believe those are actual names from history, denoting freight train stops. If someone was trying to include historical names, there are a number that should be added, such as Spadra. However, as far as I know, Paramount has never been a name associated with Pomona.
