ANTIOQUTA

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 133 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANTIOQUTA , an interior department of the republic of
Colombia
 , lying S. of Bolivar, W. of the Magdalena river, and E. of
Cauca
 . Area, 22,870 sq. m.; pop. (est. 1899) 464,887. The greater
part
  of its territory lies between the Magdalena and
Cauca
  rivers and includes the northern end of the Central Cordillera. The country is covered with valuable forests, and its
mineral
  wealth renders it one of the most important
mining
  regions of the republic. The
capital
 ,
Medellin
  (est. pop. 53,000 in 1902), is a thriving
mining
  centre, 4822 ft. above sea-level, and 125 M. from Puerto Berri6 on the Magdalena. Other important towns are Manizales (18,000) in the extreme
south
 , the commercial centre of a
rich
  gold and grazing region; Antioquia, the old
capital
 , on the Cauca; and Puerto Berri6 on the Magdalena, from which a railway has been started to the capital.
