Corunna was settled about 1836 in Shiawassee County. It became the county seat in 1840, a village in 1858 and a city in 1869. [MPN]

Corunna is located about three miles east of downtown Owosso, and was served by both the Grand Trunk Western and Ann Arbor railroads.

The GT depot here was of a "witches hat" design, similar to GTW depots in South Lyon and Saranac.
