I would say that the college influences the culture and economy in a significant way.

That's a good definition. I've heard Boston described as the "ultimate college town" and the high concentration of colleges and universities in the area (Harvard and MIT being the most prominent, but also BU, BC, Tufts and quite a few others) definitely has a huge influence on the city.

Is Claremont, California considered one?

I'd say so. If the Colleges didn't exist it would probably be a fairly nondescript suburb.
