Overview
Founded in 1896, Corona is located in Southern California in Riverside County and is a city of over 131,000 people. Corona is approximately fifty minutes southeast of Los Angeles and thirty minutes northeast of Long Beach. It is near the Cleveland National Forest and in a region known as the “Inland Empire”.
In recent years, Corona has become a bedroom community for Orange County and the larger cities of the Inland Empire. The development of commerce and industry in the city has been accelerated by congestion on the Riverside Freeway, with many firms leaving northern Orange County to be closer to their employees’ homes in Corona and Riverside.
