 It was originally known as Camp Randolph, but acquired its name in 1942 when it was occupied by the main offices of the Construction District of the Panama Engineer Division.The name was in honor of Lt. Col. Richard T. Coiner, Corps of Engineers, who died in August 1933 while serving as Department Engineer in the Canal Zone.In 1945, at the end of the Second World War, the U.S. Army transferred Camp Coiner to the Canal Zone and the area became Silver City’s second suburb.
