Riverside is a big city with a population of over 247,800. We are famous for oranges and palm trees. We are named The City Beautiful because we were the first town in the USA to have tree-lined streets. Our symbol is the raincross. We also have the famous Mission Inn. You have probably heard of our new governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
