Editing Corona, California (section)

===21st century===
In 2002, the city government considered an initiative to secede from Riverside County and form an autonomous Corona County because the city government and some residents were dissatisfied with how services were handled in nearby areas. The effort was also considered by areas in other cities in the western part of the county as far south as [[Murrieta, California|Murrieta]]. Whether nearby cities such as [[Norco, California|Norco]] would have been included in the new county are unknown. The proposed county would have been bordered by [[San Bernardino County, California|San Bernardino County]] to the northwest and by [[Orange County, California|Orange County]] to the west, but it never came to fruition.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.newspress.com/northsouth/greatdivide.html|title=Santa Barbara News Press article on the county split proposal, with a brief mention of the proposed Corona County.}}</ref>
