San Ignacio, Belize

San Ignacio and Santa Elena are towns in western Belize. San Ignacio serves as the cultural-economic hub of Cayo District. It got its start from Mahogany and chicle production during British colonialism. Over time, it attracted different people from the surrounding areas, which led to the diverse population of the town at present day. San Ignacio is the largest settlement in Cayo District and the second-largest in the country overall after Belize City.
==History==

The town was originally named El Cayo by the Spanish. On October 19, 1904, El Cayo was officially declared a town by the government of British Honduras. In the past a creek ran between the Macal and the Mopan rivers one mile outside of San Ignacio going toward Benque Viejo. This creek then fulfilled the definition of an area of land completely surrounded by water and thus the name Cayo, "island". There was a big wooden bridge across this creek in the late 1940s, but since the creek eventually dried up the area was filled with limestone gravel and today there remains no evidence of its past existence. This demise of the creek, however, took away the distinction of the classification 'cayo' from the venerable western town of 'El Cayo' and returned it to a regular land mass no longer an island.
