Corona is one of the crown jewels of California's Inland Empire. The city gets its name (which means "crown" in Spanish) from the circular Grand Boulevard that surrounds it. The boulevard also earned Corona the nicknames "The Circle City" and "Crown Town." Because land prices are low compared to nearby LA and San Diego, Corona is popular with families and industrial developers. Of all the cities in the Inland Empire region, it is one of the most residential. In 2018, approximately 169,000 people lived there. Corona is also home to large manufacturing facilities for international companies like Fender Musical Instruments Corporation and Monster Beverage Corporation. It wasn't always an industrial town, though. Up until the 1980s, the city was mostly made up of citrus orchards. Lemon growing was once the pillar of the local economy. Corona used to be the "Lemon Capital of the World."

Today, Corona is much more than endless lemon groves. The city's attractions offer locals the best of nature, culture, and fun. Skull Canyon Ziplines has zip line tours through 160 acres of the Estelle Mountain Nature Reserve for adrenaline seekers. Their zip line options range from family-friendly to heartstopping. Stagecoach Park is a less adventurous venue for families to spend time in the great outdoors. With an Old West-themed playground, picnic areas, and running trails, it's the perfect destination for a summer day with children. There is Glen Ivy Hot Springs at the mouth of Cold Water Canyon for less fun and games and more relaxation. Locals have been seeking healing from these natural mineral springs of the Santa Ana Mountains since 1860.

Corona is also a great place for art and history enthusiasts. Corona Heritage Park and Museum documents local history from the town's very beginnings. The museum has many historical artifacts on display, including a model railway. The Arts Colony offers an exciting experience for art lovers, with work from established and up-and-coming local artists. The gallery has a new art show every six weeks. For a more immersive cultural experience, swing by the Koroneburg Renaissance Festival. As the only permanent Renaissance fair in Southern California, it has period-themed events all year.

Crown Town has a diverse collection of top-notch restaurants, too. Luna Modern Mexican Kitchen adds creative spins to authentic Mexican dishes. Live from Memphis Piano Bar is a rock 'n' roll-themed pub/restaurant combo that serves casual American-style dishes. Twisted Gourmet, located in Hidden Valley Plaza, is a laidback Italian eatery with pasta, stromboli, pizza, and the like. If you're looking for a more eccentric meal, try The Hot Dog Shoppe. This casual eatery serves bizarre gourmet hot dogs with unique toppings.
