About Corona
Sitting along Highway 54 in central New Mexico's high ranch country, Corona is a tiny, peaceful village with just over a hundred residents. It’s the kind of quiet rural community where neighbors genuinely look out for one another and daily life revolves around the local school and surrounding ranches. Founded as a railroad hub in the early 1900s, Corona also has a quirky claim to fame as the closest settlement to the 1947 Roswell incident site. For anyone seeking wide-open spaces, star-filled night skies, and a slower pace, it delivers true small-town seclusion.
