MONACO 1856 - 1949 MONACO Timeline
"A sunny place for shady people" - W. Somerset Maugham
1856 June 20 Charles III becomes reigning Prince of Monaco upon the death of his father Florestan I.
1857 Napoleon III is unsuccessful in his bid to negotiate an end to the Sardinian protectorate over Monaco and to obtain a 4 million franc indemnity for the Grimaldis.
Charles III organizes La Société des Bains de Mer (Sea Bathing Company) to operate a gambling concession in Monaco. After failing to entice François Blanc, operator of the Bad Homburg casino in Germany, Charles grants exclusive rights to construct and operate a casino, hotel, a number of villas and transportation between Nice and Monaco to Albert Aubert and Napoleon Langlois.
November La Société des Bains de Mer opens a casino in the Villa Bellevue on the Spélugues Plateau. Monégasques are forbidden by law to place bets.
The old French garrison opposite the palace is converted into the Hôtel de Russie.
1858 Financial losses force Aubert and Langlois sell their interest in La Société des Bains de Mer to Pierre Auguste Daval.
March 15 Prince Charles III establishes the Order of Saint Charles for service to the prince or state of Monaco.
May 28 Pierre Daval, having no more success in operating the casino than Aubert and Langlois, in turn sells his interest in La Société des Bains de Mer to a syndicate headed by the Duke of Valmy, a former investor in the successful Bad Homburg casino. Day to day operation of the concession is turned over to François Lefebvre.
1859 April 26 France sides with Sardinia against Austria in the Second War of Italian Unification. Communications between Nice and Monaco are disrupted and the Villa Bellevue casino is closed and Lefebvre moves the operation to the old garrison on the Rock of Monaco.
1860 June 17 Sardinian troops are withdrawn from Monaco and the principality is restored to the status of a French protectorate.
1863 April 2 François Blanc purchases the Valmy syndicate's interest in La Société des Bains de Mer for 1,700,000 francs. Charles III grants an exclusive 50 year gambling concession to La Société des Bains de Mer et du Cercle des Étrangers for which François Blanc agrees to pay the Prince 50,000 francs per annum, 10% of the net profit and a 2,000 franc weekly allowance. Monégasques are forbidden to enter the casino.
1864 The casino hosts a record 27,872 visitors and turns a profit of 640,000 francs in the first year of operation under François Blanc.
1866 June 1 The Spélugues Plateau is renamed Monte Carlo in honor of Prince Charles III.
1869 Prince Charles III abolishes all forms of direct taxation on native Monégasques after François Blanc persuades him that 2,000,000 franc annual profits of La Société des Bains de Mer are sufficient to cover the cost of running the principality.
