Norco History
The city of Norco was originally a part of a large Mexican land grant that was given to Vicenta Sepulveda. The name “Norco” originates from either its North Corona location or the North Corona Land Company. It was given its current name by the city’s founder, though earlier names like “Citrus Belt” and “Orchard Heights” are known to have existed. The land area was used basically for farming, but gradually underground mineral springs were discovered, which led to the opening of a posh club called the Norconian Club Resort; this turned out to be a favorite haunt of movie stars. The city has an animal oriented community and is, to date, one of the few California cities where horses are used as alternate modes of transportation. The city of Norco was incorporated in the year 1964.
