A Look Back: The History of Corona

How Corona Got Its Name

The name "Corona" comes from a Latin word. It means "crown." People think it might have been named this because of how high up the land is. It's like the community is sitting on top, like a crown!

The Old Post Office

Long ago, Corona had its own post office. It opened in 1910. This was a place where people could send and receive letters and packages. But it only stayed open for a short time. The post office closed in 1921.
