It lies 4.0 miles south-south-west of Norco, CA (from Norco, CA: bearing 195°T), and is situated 9.1 miles south-south-west of Jurupa Valley. Historically, this land was home to the Tongva people before becoming part of the Spanish mission system and later, vast ranches. The arrival of the railroad in the late 19th century spurred its growth, transforming it into a hub for agriculture, particularly citrus groves that once perfumed the air, and later, manufacturing. The economy of Corona today is a blend of these legacies, with a strong presence in industries like aerospace, transportation, and advanced manufacturing, all thriving under the dry California sun. The cultural heart of Corona beats with a spirit of industrious optimism, a place where the pursuit of progress is evident in its well-kept neighborhoods and bustling commercial centers.
