Description
La Paz is the capital city of the La Paz Department of Honduras. The town was founded in 1792 and has an estimated population of 46,000 people. It is 750 m (2460 feet) above sea level on the Comayagua River in an area that has mountainous terrain with thick jungle cover. The town dates back to 1750 when two Spanish colonies existed in the area. T he town's title was given in September 1848 when the name "La Paz" was officially recognized by a decree from Comayagua and in 1861 it was given the status of a city and in 1869 it was made a departmental seat. The town's economy is based on henequen (a fiber resembling that is used for twine and paper pulp), coffee, cattle, timber processing, tanning, distilling and some mining.
I am told that the town is called La Paz for a reason; it is one of the most peaceful towns in all of Honduras.
