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]
