Not welcome in the white veteran's group, Hispanic soldiers coming home from World War II had to form their own. During the 1950s, the first Hispanics were elected to both the School Board and the City Council. By the sixties, the first Chinese families came to town to start a restaurant; in earlier years the Chinese were not allowed to own or even rent property in Corona. Thus, the seeds of Corona's dynamically diverse community had been planted, even though the overall population continued to grow slowly.
