Etymology
{{See also|List of Riverside County, California, placename etymologies#Corona}}Corona is Spanish for crown or wreath. Originally called South Riverside, citizens wanted to distinguish their city from the larger city of Riverside to the north. When it came time to incorporate the city a number of different names were considered, but the name Corona was chosen to play upon a unique feature of the city, the one-mile diameter drive that circled the center of the town.WEB, History of Corona,weblinkweblink May 24, 2020, May 24, 2020, City of Corona; The Circle City, City of Corona, Gunther, pp 134-135.History

File:ButterfieldstagestationCorona1860.jpg|thumb|right| Temescal Butterfield stage stationTemescal Butterfield stage stationCorona was founded at the height of the Southern California citrus boom in 1886, and is situated at the upper end of the Santa Ana River Canyon, a significant pass through the Santa Ana Mountains. The town of Corona was once the "Lemon Capital of the World". A museum there presents the lemon's former role in the local economy. The city's name means crown in Spanish due to the circular shape of a crown and the circular shape of Grand Blvd. The nickname of Corona is "The Circle City" from the unique layout of its streets, with a standard grid enclosed by the circular Grand Boulevard, {{convert|2.75|mi|km}} in circumference.NEWS, Corona: 'Circle City' to mark centennial of road races,weblink The Press-Enterprise, August 16, 2013, â¦Grand Boulevard seems a quaint oddity. A perfect circle, with a circumference just over 2.75 miles, it's the rationale for Corona's tagline as the 'Circle City'., The street layout was designed by Hiram Clay Kellogg, a civil engineer from Anaheim who was an influential figure in the early development of Orange County.Corona was established as a town by the South Riverside Land and Water Company. The company was incorporated in 1886; founding members included ex-Governor of Iowa Samuel Merrill, R.B. Taylor, George L. Joy, A.S. Garretson, and Adolph Rimpau.Finding aid of South Riverside Land and Water Company records, Online Archive of California from oac.cdlib.org accessed April 26, 2015. Originally a citrus growers' organization, it purchased the lands of Rancho La Sierra of Bernardo Yorba, and the Rancho Temescal grant and the colony of South Riverside was laid out. They also secured the water rights to Temescal Creek, its tributaries and Lee Lake. Dams and pipelines were built to carry the water to the colony. In 1889, the Temescal Water Company was incorporated, to supply water for the new colony. This company purchased all the water-bearing lands in the Temescal valley and began drilling artesian wells.Ellerbe, History of Temescal Valley, pp. 18â19Originally located in San Bernardino County, the city was named "South Riverside" and received its post office in that name on either May 27BOOK, Salley, Harold E., 1977, History of California Post Offices, 1849-1976, The Depot, 0-9601558-1-3, or August 11, 1887Frickstad, Walter N., A Century of California Post Offices 1848-1954, Philatelic Research Society, Oakland, CA. 1955, pp.135-147 with Charles H. Cornell as the town's first postmaster. In 1893, South Riverside became part of the new Riverside County. In 1896, the city was renamed "Corona" for its circular Grand Boulevard, where three international automobile races were held in 1913, 1914 and 1916.BOOK, Hoover, Mildred B., Hero Rensch, Ethel Rensch, William N.

In 2002, the city government considered an initiative to secede from Riverside County and form an autonomous Corona County because the city government and some residents were dissatisfied with how services were handled in nearby areas. The effort was also considered by areas in other cities in the western part of the county as far south as Murrieta. Whether nearby cities such as Norco would have been included in the new county are unknown. The proposed county would have been bordered by San Bernardino County to the northwest and by Orange County to the west, but it never came to fruition.WEB,weblink Santa Barbara News Press article on the county split proposal, with a brief mention of the proposed Corona County.,Geography and climate

After the boom in housing growth that occurred in Corona in the early 2000s, many previously more isolated communities have come to be completely or mostly surrounded by Corona. They are within the Corona sphere of influence; however, they have not been annexed by the city yet due to unpopular annexation referendums among other reasons. Services are provided by the County of Riverside. These communities are Coronita, El Cerrito, Home Gardens, and Temescal Valley, with Temescal Valley having many sub=communities within it such as Arcilla, Glen Eden Sun Club, Glen Ivy, Sycamore Creek, Terramor, and Trilogy.
