The town of Coronado was
founded in 1885 when the land was purchased by E.L Babcock, along with
Hampton L. Story and Jacob Gruendike, with the intention of creating a
resort community. In 1886, the Coronado Beach Company was organized, and
they immediately set out to create the community they envisioned. By
1888 they had built the Hotel del Coronado, a schoolhouse, and had
formed Athletic, Boating, and Baseball clubs. This beautiful map
provides a look back to the beginnings of the town. Complete reference
