History

El Granada’s unusual concentric-circular street layout was designed by the influential architect and city planner Daniel Burnham. Burnham’s other works included overseeing the design for the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago and designing the 1902 Flatiron Building in New York City. Burnham’s plan was commissioned by the Ocean Shore Railroad, which developed El Granada as a seaside resort for visitors who would use the railroad to travel between San Francisco and El Granada. The city was originally named “Granada” after the city in Spain but the Post Office mistakenly recorded the name as “El Granada” in 1909. Financial difficulties and the advent of the automobile caused the railroad to abandon the plan, and El Granada subsequently became a residential community.
