Prior to the late eighteenth century, the area was primarily inhabited by the [[Tongva]] and [[Payómkawichum]], who lived in a series of villages throughout the area. What is now Corona stood at the southeastern extent of [[Tovaangar]], or the Tongva world, and at the northern edge of Payómkawichum territory.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1138875692 |title=East of east : the making of greater El Monte |date=2020 |others=Romeo Guzman, {{proper name|Carri|bean|nohide=y}} Fragoza, Alex Sayf Cummings, Ryan Reft |isbn=978-1-9788-0550-7 |location=New Brunswick, New Jersey |pages=18 |oclc=1138875692}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last1=Greene |first1=Sean |last2=Curwen |first2=Thomas |title=Mapping the Tongva villages of L.A.'s past |url=https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me-tongva-map/ |access-date=December 20, 2022 |website=www.latimes.com |date=May 9, 2019 |language=en}}</ref>

The primary settlement in the area was the village of [[Paxauxa]], which was established along the banks of the [[Temescal Creek (Riverside County)|Temescal Creek]] at about where Corona is situated today. The settlement was shared by both the [[Tongva]] and [[Payómkawichum]] people. Cooperation and marriage between the two villages was common.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Wkc0AQAAMAAJ |title=Santa Ana River Main Stem and Santiago Creek: Environmental Impact Statement |publisher=US Army Corps of Engineers |year=1978 |pages=122 |chapter=4 Affected Environment}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pwi2fcbAPxgC |title=Handbook of North American Indians |publisher=Smithsonian Institution |year=1978 |pages=547}}</ref> High above the city of Corona, the village of [[Pamajam]] was also located in a small valley of the [[Santa Ana Mountains]].<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Qh0QAQAAMAAJ |title=The Masterkey for Indian Lore and History, Volume 30 |publisher=Southwest Museum |year=1956 |pages=46}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |date=1999 |title=Hills for Everyone: Friends of the Wildlife Corridor |url=https://www.hillsforeveryone.org/PDFs/news/hfe-publications/newsletters/1999/fall-1999.pdf |journal=Hills for Everyone |volume=1 |pages=6}}</ref>
