CAUCA

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 546 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAR-CAU
CAUCA , a large
coast
  department of
Colombia
 ,
South
  America, lying between the departments of Bolivar, Antioquia, Caldas and Tolima on the E., and the Pacific Ocean and Panama on the W,, and extending from the Caribbean Sea S. to the department of Narino. Pop. (1905, estimate) 400,000; area 26,930 sq. m. Although Cauca was deprived of extensive territories on the upper Caqueta and Putumayo, and of a large area bordering on
Ecuador
  in the territorial redistribution of 1905, it remained the largest department of the republic. The Western Cordillera, traversing nearly its whole length from
south
  to north, and the Central Cordillera, forming a
part
  of its eastern frontier, give a very mountainous character to the region. It includes, besides, the fertile and healthful valley of the upper Cauca, the hot, low valley of the Atrato, and a
long
  coastal plain on the Pacific. The region is
rich
  in mines and valuable forests, but its inhabitants have made very little progress in
agriculture
  because there are not adequate transportation facilities. The
capital
  of the department is Popayan at its southern extremity, with an estimated
population
  in 1905 of 1o,000, other important towns are Cali (16,000), Buga, Cartago and Buenaventura.
