==Belgian colony==
In the 1840s Santo Tomás was settled by Belgians in a colonial enterprise after the European nation supported Rafael Carrera in his drive for independence of the country.〔("Santo Tomas de Castilla ), ''Britannica Encyclopedia〕 The territory was authorized in 1843 "in perpetuity" by the Guatemalan parliament to be administered by the ''Compagnie belge de colonisation'', a private Belgian company under the protection of King Leopold I of Belgium. It replaced the failed British Eastern Coast of Central America Commercial and Agricultural Company.〔("New Physical, Political, Industrial and Commercial Map of Central America and the Antilles" ), Library of Congress, World Digital Library, accessed 27 May 2013〕 Many of the Belgians who settled there died of yellow fever and malaria, which were endemic to the region. Most were buried in a Belgian cemetery near Matias de Gálvez, which still existed in the 1960s.〔 In 1854 the Belgian company withdrew because of financial losses.
