This article appears in Volume V14, Page 216 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
IBAGUE, or SAN BONIFACIO DE IBAGUE , a city of
Colombia
 , and
capital
  of the department of Tolima, about 6o m.W. of Bogota and 18 m. N.W. of the Nevado de Tolima. Pop. (1900, estimate) 13,000. Ibague is built on a beautiful plain between the Chipalo and Combeima, small affluents of the Cuello, a western tributary of the Magdalena. Its
elevation
 , 4300 ft. above the sea, gives it a mild, subtropical climate. The plain and the neighbouring valleys produce cacao, tobacco,
rice
  and
sugar
 -cane. There are two thermal springs in the vicinity, and undeveloped mines of
sulphur
  and silver. The city has an endowed college. It is an important commercial centre, being on the road which crosses the Quindio pass, or paramo, into the
Cauca
  valley. Ibague was founded in 1550 and was the
capital
  of the republic for a short time in 1854.
