That\u2019s because, back when the city was founded in the 1870s, Riverside was at the heart of the state\u2019s massive citrus boom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boom began with a private citizen, Eliza Tibbets. The navel orange variation was first propagated in Brazil, and a handful of seedlings from South America were sent to Washington DC. Two of these seedlings were given to Ms. Tibbets from the fledgling USDA and planted them in her Riverside yard. They not only survived but thrived in the area\u2019s fertile soil and warm, dry climate, and produced superb, sweet, seedless oranges. This variation was dubbed the California Navel Orange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cp1UD9AL4ij\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
