BARCELONA

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 393 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BARCELONA , a town and port of
Venezuela
 ,
capital
  of the state of Bermudez, on the Neveri river, 3 m. from its mouth and 12 M. by'
rail
  from the port of Guanta, which has superseded the incommodious river port in the
trade
  of this
district
 . Pop. (est. 1904) 13,000. Built on the border of a low plain and having a mean annual temperature of 82 F., the town has the reputation of being unhealthy. There are
salt
  works and important coal deposits in its vicinity, the latter at Naricual and Capiricual, 12 M. distant by
rail
 . Though the adjacent country is fertile, its prosperity has greatly declined, and the exports of coffee,
sugar
 , cacao and forest products are much less important than formerly. The town
dates
  from 1637, when it was located at the foot of the Cerro Santo and was called Nueva Barcelona; it reached a state of much prosperity and commercial importance before the end of the
century
 . The War of Independence, however, and the chronic political disorders that followed nearly ruined its
industries
  and
trade
 .
