After years of much debate about Coronados separation from San Diego, two important elections moved this discussion into law: one on October 6, 1890, segregation from the City of San Diego, and on December 6, 1890, a vote for incorporation of the City of Coronado, with the official papers signed on December 11, 1890.

The next post will feature 1900-1910.
The 125th year anniversary of the incorporation of Coronado as a city is an opportunity to learn more about our history as a community. We will post a few interesting moments of the past 125 years along with some interesting historical photographs from the archives of the Coronado Historical Association, the Coronado Public Library, and the Kingston Trio legacy Project. Thanks to these organizations and to Susan Enowitz, coordinator of this project, along with Mary Beth Dodson.
