Nicaragua
 , 13 M. W.N.W. of Lake
Nicaragua
  and the city of
Granada
 , on the eastern shore of Lake Masaya, and on the
Granada
 -
Managua
  railway. Pop. (1905), about 20,000. The city is built in the midst of a very fertile lowland region, which yields large quantities of tobacco. The
majority
  of the inhabitants are Indians or half-castes. Lake Masaya occupies an
extinct
  crater; the isolated
volcano
  of Masaya (3000 ft.) on the opposite side of the lake was active at the time of the conquest of Nicaragua in 1522, and the conquerors, thinking the
lava
  they saw was gold, had themselves lowered into the crater at the
risk
  of their lives, The
volcano
  was in eruption in 1670, 1782, 1857 and 1902.
