Corona Founders Monument

The Corona Founders Monument is a historical marker in Corona, California, standing in the city's central park area. It displays commemorative plaques that provide information about early settlers and their role in establishing the community.

The monument was established in 1936 and recognized as California Historic Landmark 738 in 1960. It marks the location where pioneers purchased land from Mexican land grants and began building the settlement.

The monument stands in Corona City Park and reflects the importance of citrus farming to the city's development. It marks a place where local history and agricultural heritage remain visible in how people understand their community.

The monument is located in the 100 block of 6th Street and is easy to reach on foot. Information displays nearby provide background on the city's origins and early development.

The monument honors H.C. Kellogg's circular city design, where Grand Boulevard forms a 3-mile (5 km) ring around the central district. This radial street pattern was deliberately planned from the city's founding and remains visible in today's layout.
