History
The city was originally named Diamond after John Diamond, an early pioneer in the area, on whose land claim the city was located. The city's current name comes from a stallion that was named after the Coburg district of Bavaria, Germany, from whence the horse had been imported. The Coburg Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The period of significance of the buildings in the district dates back to 1875. The citizens elected Carol Heinkel first woman mayor in 1988. The City installed a sewer system in 2011 to 2015, leading to a new period of growth in both residential and commercial investment.
