In 1913 Corona, California, was a small town in Riverside County whose economy rested on citrus. Orange and lemon groves surrounded it, and packinghouses and rail shipments along the Santa Fe line carried the fruit to eastern markets. The town had been renamed Corona in 1896, and by the early 1910s it counted only a few thousand residents, so a racing track drew people from the surrounding ranches and neighboring towns. Motor racing was a fast-growing pastime across Southern California at the time, and a speedway offered local families a rare public spectacle that broke up the steady rhythm of the groves and packing season.
