MANAGUA

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 539 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MANAGUA , the
capital
  of
Nicaragua
 , and of the department of Managua; on the southern shore of Lake Managua, and on the railway from Diriamba to El Viejo, 65 m. by rail S.E. of the Pacific port of Corinto. Pop. (19c5), about 30,000. Managua is a modern city, with many flourishing
industries
  and a rapidly growing population. Its
chief
  buildings are those erected after 1855, when it was chosen as the
capital
  to put an end to the rivalry between the then more important cities of Leon and
Granada
 . They include the Palacio National or government buildings, Corinthian in style, the national library and museum, an ornate Renaissance structure, the barracks and the general post office. Owing to its position on the lake, and its excellent communications by rail and steamer, Managua obtained after 1855 an important export
trade
  in coffee, sugar, cocoa and
cotton
 , although in 1876 it was temporarily ruined by a
great
  inundation.
