Why this spot
1885-1899 county seat contest town
Coronado was platted in 1885 and fought one of the bloodiest county seat wars in the West, with a shoot-out against Leoti boosters on February 27, 1887 that left several dead and brought Dodge City lawmen including Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson. Leoti won the seat and Coronado's post office closed in 1899.View source →
