Claremore Mound, a hill in present-day Rogers County, Oklahoma, is the site of the Battle of Strawberry Moon where in 1817 a band Cherokees under Chief Spring Frog (Too-an-tuh) wiped out Chief Clermont's band of Osage Indians. The hill is located north of Sageeyah near the south bank of the Verdigris River. The mound and the nearby city were both named in honor of Chief Clermont.
