" Across the bay from downtown San Diego there lies a city, that city is Coronado. It is a city full of wonderful and beautiful things, so how did this city become what it is today? It all started on November 8, 1602 when a Spanish explorer named Sebastian Vizcaino "sighted the Islands to the west and south of the present Hotel del Coronado." He named the islands Las Yslas Coronadas which symbolized the "Crowned Four" in honor
of the four martyred brothers who were given the title of saints by the church of Rome on that calendar date. Two hundred and eighty-four years later, January 1886, a naming contest was announced in the San Diego newspapers with a $50.00 prize. Many suggestions were received, the name chosen was "Miramar." No one agreed with this choice so the name was changed to "Coronado" or "Coronado Beach" from the Mexican Islands that were nearby. Coronado means "the Crowned One" which
seemed fitting for what would become the Crown of Pacific resorts. Don Pedro Carrillo gained the property of Coronado and its sister island, North Island by a land grant signed by Mexican Governor Pio Pico on May 15, 1846. Carrillo, used the two islands for a year as grazing land for cattle. He then sold the islands to Bezar Simmons for $1,000. Who then sold the land to Archibald C. Peachy and William H. Aspinwall for $10,000. John D. Spreckels was North IslandŐs last owner, he sold the island to the United States
Government to be used as an air base in World War I. From this beginning Coronado became the city it is today."
