BOLIVAR

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 166 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BOLIVAR , an inland state of
Venezuela
 , lying S. of the Orinoco and Apure, with the Yuruari territory on the E., the Caroni river forming the boundary, and the
Amazonas
  territory and Brazil on the S. Frequent political changes in
Venezuela
  have led to various modifications in the size and outlines of this state, which comprises large areas of uninhabited territory. It is a country of extensive plains (lianas) covered in the
rainy
  season with nutritious grass which disappears completely in the dry season, and of
great
  forests and numerous rivers. Its population was given in 1894 as 135,232, but its area has been largely reduced since then. The
capital
  is Ciudad Bolivar, formerly called Angostura, which is situated on the right bank of the Orinoco about 240 M. above its mouth; pop. 11,686. Vessels of light
draught
  easily ascend the Orinoco to this point, and a considerable
trade
  is carried on, the exports being cocoa, sugar,
cotton
 , hides, jerked beef and various forest products.
