Corona highlight
Historic citrus
Corona's development was built on the region's role in California's twentieth-century citrus industry, when the Inland Empire became a center for growing and shipping fruit.
The Inland Empire around Corona developed in the early 1900s as a major center of California's citrus industry. The region's climate and rail connections made it ideal for growing and shipping oranges and lemons across the nation. Packing houses, rail yards, and agricultural operations shaped the city's growth and brought workers and families to the area.
Corona's commercial success in the citrus era led to infrastructure investments that defined the city: rail lines connecting to national markets, warehousing and processing facilities, and neighborhoods built to house workers and their families. Many of those commercial buildings and residential areas from that era still stand, marking the city's industrial heritage.
That history of building infrastructure to support livelihoods is still part of Corona today. Families here work in logistics, transportation, manufacturing and service industries, much as earlier generations worked in agriculture and trade. Planning for what those families need, and what they'd want for the people who depend on them, is what life insurance planning is for.
