Founded in 1850 by the Panama Railroad

shareholders, and afterwards president of the 
Pacific Mail Steamship Company. The official 
name given the city by the Colombian Govern¬ 
ment is Colon, the Spanish form of the pat¬ 
ronymic of Christopher Columbus. Designated 
as Aspinwall by the United States Government 
from the year of its foundation until 1882. The 
Colombian name was adopted in the latter 
year and has since appeared in the printed 
diplomatic and consular list of the Department 
of State as “Colon (Aspinwall,)” “Colon” be¬ 
ing recognized as the proper form, and “Aspin¬

pose of distinguishing the place for the guid¬
