SAN ANTONIO DE LOS BANOS

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 127 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SAN ANTONIO DE LOS BANOS , a small town in Havana Province, Cuba, about 23 M. (by
rail
 ) S.W. of Havana. Pop. (1907) 9125. San Antonio de los Banos is served by the W.branch of the United Railways of Havana. It is on the banks of the Ariguanabo river, which drains a lake of the same name, and is itself one of the many " disappearing rivers " of the
island
 ; it disappears in a cave near San Antonio. The town has
mineral
  springs and baths, and is a summer resort of the
people
  of Havana. Though spreading over hills, the plan of the town is
regular
 . The tobacco of the Vuelta Abajo lands immediately around the city is famous. The pueblo arose in the middle of the 18th
century
  as a camp for convicts from
Mexico
 . It became a villa in 1794. Early in the 19th
century
  refugees from Santo Domingo settled here and founded coffee estates that gave the place
great
  prosperity until the expulsion of the French in 1809; subsequently the cultivation of tobacco renewed its prosperity.
