Norco is a city in northwestern Riverside County, California, United States. Located roughly 40 miles (64 km) inland from the Pacific Ocean, Norco is known as “Horsetown, USA” and prides itself on being a "horse community”. The area is dotted with corrals, farms, hitching posts, ranches, riding trails, and tack-and-feed supply stores; there are also city ordinances in-place requiring new construction to have a "traditional, rustic... Western flavor".[7]
As of the 2020 census, the city population was 26,316, down from 27,063 at the 2010 census.
