About Coronado, California

Coronado is a city of 20,192 people in San Diego County, facing downtown San Diego across the bay. The Kumeyaay kept fishing villages here, on North Island and at what is now the Coronado Cays. As American settlers arrived they were forced out, and in 1902 the last six Kumeyaay families were sent to the Mesa Grande Reservation.

In the mid-1880s three men, Hampton L. Story, Elisha Spurr Babcock and Jacob Gruendike, bought the land to build a resort, and they organized the Coronado Beach Company in 1886. A public contest picked the name Miramar, but people disliked it. The owners chose Coronado instead, Spanish for "crowned," after the Los Coronados islands that Sebastian Vizcaino's crew had named. The post office opened on February 8, 1887, with Norbert Moser as postmaster, and the town was incorporated on December 11, 1890.

  • America's first flying schoolGlenn Curtiss began with motorcycle engines and moved on to aircraft. Drawn by the mild weather and the sheltered bay, he won a three-year lease to train military pilots here and opened the first U.S. flying school in 1911. While he was here, he built a new kind of seaplane that could launch from a ship, plus an amphibious plane. The site is now Naval Air Station North Island.
  • The Del, opened in 1888The Coronado Beach Company had Hotel del Coronado built by 1888, and the town quickly became a major resort. Its guests have included Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, Thomas Edison, Charles Lindbergh, Babe Ruth and Marilyn Monroe. L. Frank Baum designed the crown chandeliers in its dining room, and the hotel is said to have inspired his Emerald City.
  • Tent City from 1900John D. Spreckels, who also came to own the hotel, opened a vacation camp called Tent City just south of it in 1900. Over the years the tents were replaced by cottages, and the last of those came down in late 1940 or early 1941.
  • North Island joins the townFor as long as records go back, a shallow inlet called the Spanish Bight mostly separated Coronado from North Island. Before and during World War II the Navy filled it in, and by July 1944 the two became one piece of land.
  • The bridge in 1969Until 1969, getting to San Diego meant a ferry ride or the long drive down the Silver Strand on State Route 75. That year the San Diego-Coronado Bridge opened. A movable barrier shifts one of its five lanes so that three lanes carry traffic toward Coronado in the morning and three carry it back toward downtown in the evening.
