Corona is Spanish for ''crown'' or ''wreath''. Originally called '''South Riverside''', citizens wanted to distinguish their city from the larger city of [[Riverside, California|Riverside]] to the north. When it came time to incorporate the city a number of different names were considered, but the name Corona was chosen to play upon a unique feature of the city, the one-mile diameter drive that circled the center of the town.<ref>{{cite web |title=History of Corona |url=https://www.coronaca.gov/government/departments-divisions/library-recreation-services/library/heritage-room/history-of-corona |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200524230420/https://www.coronaca.gov/government/departments-divisions/library-recreation-services/library/heritage-room/history-of-corona |archive-date=May 24, 2020 |access-date=May 24, 2020 |website=City of Corona; The Circle City |publisher=City of Corona}}</ref><ref>Gunther, pp 134-135.</ref>
