Summary note

Corona's circular boulevard gave rise to its nickname, "The Circle City." The community hosted three world-class road races on its roadway-racetrack, Grand Boulevard, and became known as the "Lemon Capital of the World" with more than 11,000 acres of citrus crops. Then & Now: Corona shows the city's amazing transformation from a rural, agricultural enclave to a cosmopolitan, suburban community.
