MEDELLIN

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 19 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MEDELLIN , a city of
Colombia
  and
capital
  of the department of Antioquia, 150 M. N.W. of Bogota, on a
plateau
  of the Central Cordillera, 4823 ft. above sea-level. Pop. (1go6 estimate), 50,000. Medellin, the foundation of which
dates
  from 1674, stands in the valley of the Porce, a tributary of the
Cauca
 , and is reputed to be one of the healthiest as well as one of the most attractive cities of the republic. It has a university, national college, school of mines and other educational institutions, assaying and refining laboratories, a public library and a mint. The principal industry of the surrounding country is mining, and gold and silver are exported in considerable quantities. Coffee and hides are also exported, but the trade of the city has been greatly impeded by difficulties of transportation. A railway from Puerto Berrio, on the Magdalena, was begun many years before the end of the 19th century, but political 'and
financial
  difficulties interposed and
work
  was suspended when only 43 M. were finished. The completion of the remaining 8o m. was part of a larger
scheme
  proposed in 1906 for bringing the
Cauca
  Valley into railway communication with the national
capital
 .
