S.B. Hampton and the 1918 Spanish Flu -
Today in our nation there are many of our citizens who are struggling with the Corona Virus. Especially hit hard is the State of New York. This Corona virus is no respecter of persons. It will attack young and old or rich and poor. Plain and simple, if you can avoid exposure to the virus, please do.
S.B. Hampton -- In October of 1918, one of Corona's most prominent citizens representing the citrus industry went on a business trip to New York.
While in New York, Mr. Hampton first caught a cold, then the Spanish Influenza which developed into pneumonia. His health deteriorated so quickly that within days, Mr. Hampton lost his life.
Loosing S.B. Hampton took a strong hit on our then little town. S.B Hampton was the founder and President of the Corona Foothill Lemon Company. At the time of his passing, the Corona Foothill Lemon Company was the largest lemon producing ranch in Corona.
Additionally Hampton was the President of the Temescal Water Company as well as President of the Exchange Bi-Products Company.
Having arrived in Corona in 1905, S.B. first came to our city as the Superintendent of the Corona Lemon Company. It didn't take long for the workers to notice that the secret of his success was to earn the respect of the workers who worked for him. Truth is that the newspapers are full of articles where S.B. Hampton was always full of energy and always was serving the citizens of Corona.
Because of the Spanish Flu, the state cremated S.B. Hampton and sent his ashes back to Corona. A service was held in the city of Whittier where he lived prior to moving to Corona. Many of our citizens attended that service.
Probably those who felt the loss of Mr. Hampton the most was his wife and three children. Although financially they were more than taken care of, they still lost a loving father, all the while our city lost one of our early pioneers.
There were no pictures of S.B. Hampton to be found, so therefore I have added as a cover photo to this post, one of S.B. Hamptons citrus labels from his beloved Foothill Lemon Company....

ANGEL FIRE After all the names and functions, old-timers best remember Yamano's HICKORY BARBECUE, a well-known steakhouse. It was a famous stop for travelers of the old 91 Highway between Orange and Riverside Counties. Yamanos were local onion farmers and their Hickory had a window showcasing their grill when you walked in. Salads had crumbled pretzels instead of croutons. It was unique, right down to the backlit windowbox race mural behind the bar. The bar art was created by local artist Duke Ottinger and hangs in a prominent place in the Corona Heritage Museum, open free Tuesday-Saturday, 10 am - 2 pm.
Happy Birthday Corona!
May 4, 2019 - Happy Birthday Corona
Our beloved beautiful city turns 133 years old today. Below is a photo that was taken from a hot air balloon in 1890 that shows Corona (then South Riverside) in its infancy.
Happy Birthday Corona...
The Claim Jumper Restaurant on McKinley is part of the past, but mining has been a major industry in and around Corona long before, and long since, our well-known citrus heritage. http://www.coronaheritage.org/mining.html
Great day at the Corona Vintage Tool Show at Corona Heritage Park & Museum. See you again this September!
Check out The Urban Craft House! Located within our park!
This workshop was so much FUN!! Not only did these ladies build this plank front porch sign (yes, they built it!) but then they also decorated it to fit their own personal styles. These signs are such a statement piece for everyday use. We just love how they all turned out!

World War II affected everyone in America, and everyone in Corona. Wartime vigilance, “making do,” and many day-to-day commonalities are foreign to life we know today. You’ll see unfamiliar artifacts, not from far off locations, but right here in Corona. Exhibits are self-explanatory and focus is 8 years to adult. More info: http://www.coronaheritage.org

The grounds include mature-growth trees up to a century old and a specimen grove of lemons representing the period in which Corona was known as "The Lemon Capital of the World." Park operating income is derived from artists, business tenants, weddings and other event rentals.

Corona Foothill Lemon Company was established in 1911 by S.B. Hampton. What remains was the center of the largest single lemon ranch in California! The headquarters and surrounding buildings have been preserved and converted to unique attractions at Corona Heritage Park. Earl Hardison managed the company store at the lemon ranch. Now the 1922 "Hardison" house is home to the Corona Model Railroad Society where you can see "HO" scale choo-choo's chug in their re-creation of the Santa Fe Lines, yards and businesses from Fullerton to Riverside, with The City of Corona as the centerpiece. A favorite of local school field trips, the 1949-era transportation system shows how people shipped and traveled before jets, computers and FedEx. The awesome CMRS volunteers are working on some pretty high-tech projects so that guests may better interact and learn about the unique history of the City of Corona. Help them continue to educate and inspire by donating in person or online! : https://squareup.com/store/corona-heritage-foundation #GivingTuesday #CityOfCorona #Community #Volunteer #Philanthropy
