Cyrus Grandison Baldwin (October 10, 1852 – January 10, 1931) was an American minister in the Congregational Church, the first official president of Pomona College, and a pioneer of hydroelectric power in Southern California.

[3] During his tenure, he sought to raise desperately needed funds for the fledgling school, ultimately increasing its endowment by $100,000 (equivalent to $3.7 million in 2023).

"[3] He maintained close ties with Pomona following his presidency, and his daughter, Florence, graduated from the college in 1901.

[1] After leaving higher education, Baldwin continued his efforts with the San Antonio Light and Power Company, seeking to build another power station and irrigation project at Mill Creek in San Bernardino County.

[1] However, the venture failed due to a combination of lack of funding, drought, and water rights disputes.
