The Coronado Historical Association was founded in 1969, during the opening of the San Diego-Coronado Bridge, in an effort to preserve the legacy of Coronado’s small-town heritage and history. Over the last 50+ years, CHA has worked with the community to preserve our town’s unique military and community history, and ensure future generations are able to know and enjoy Coronado’s past.

From the Archive: Kathleen Cridge Scrapbook

This scrapbook highlights the goings on of Coronado High School in the 1920s, particularly sports and the arts. Some notable things in this scrapbook are the dedication of the new Coronado High School building on January 12, 1923, “Little Women” put on in the CHS Theater, the Girls Club annual “High Jinx,” and the victories of the CHS Football and Basketball teams.
