 History The first Indian settlers in the Corona area were the Luiseno Indians. The area was soon taken over by Spanish ranchos. In 1886, Robert Taylor and members of the South Riverside Land and Water Company purchased 12,000 acres and developed a town which the named South Riverside. Nearly all of the new settlers planted orange and lemon groves and the city prospered. Anaheim engineer H. C. Kellogg designed the city around a three-mile circular street named Grand Boulevard. In 1896 residents voted to incorporate and change the name of the community to Corona, which in Spanish means crown. This was in honor of Grand Boulevard. The renowned circular boulevard became host to international road racing that took place in 1913, 1914, and 1916. The first lemon processing plant in the country was built here in Corona in 1915. Corona was shipping more fruit than any other city in Southern California. The world's largest cheese plant was opened on Lincoln Avenue in 1985 where the Desi Arnaz horse ranch had once stood.

By the early 1980's, it was clear that production costs outweighed the advantages of harvesting citrus fruit. The Corona plant was closed and the groves were gradually replaced with housing developments. The 91 Freeway, built in 1962, and the 15 Freeway, built in 1989, created the way for thousands of Southern California residents to locate in Corona and ushered in a new era in the history of the city.  |  | | Metrolink Station |

First Time Buyers >Choosing A Lender
When you are buying a new home or refinancing your present one, it is wise to do some comparison shopping among lenders. A low interest rate isn't the only criterion by which to evaluate a loan. You should also consider the terms of the mortgage, what your closing costs will be and the reputation of the lender.
Real estate agents are a good source of information about loans and lenders, whether you are buying a home or just refinancing your present home. We routinely assist buyers when they need a mortgage in order to purchase a home. We know what loan packages are available and the qualifying requirements. The companies with the lowest rates sometimes have very conservative underwriting guidelines, and may not be willing to make loans on certain types of property or to buyers who are marginally qualified. We can tell you which companies and loan officers will go the extra mile to provide excellent service to make sure that the transaction closes.
