Norco, Charter city in Riverside County, California.
Norco is a charter city in Riverside County, California, sitting between the Santa Ana Mountains and Interstate 15. The municipality covers residential areas connected by an extensive network of horse trails running through neighborhoods.
The North Corona Land Company founded the settlement in 1923 as a ranch community for agriculture and livestock. Official incorporation as a city happened on December 28, 1964, with emphasis on horse keeping.
The city name came from shortening North Corona Land Company, reflecting its founding origins. Visitors see riding paths instead of sidewalks everywhere, making daily life with horses visible throughout.
Local zoning laws require property owners to provide horse facilities, so many homes include stables or paddocks. Riders use the paths along streets for daily rides through residential areas.
