Sensuntepeque is a town and municipality in the Cabañas department of El Salvador. It is the seat of the department and principal town in the area. Sensuntepeque is located about northeast of the capital, San Salvador, at an altitude of . ==History== In the local Pipil language (also called "Nawat", and similar to Nahuatl), Sensuntepeque means "400 hills." The name refers to the many hills in the region. The town was founded as a Pipil Indian village in 1550, and in 1799 it became head of the party of Titihuapa. Colonized by the Spanish, it became an evangelical village.〔 On December 20, 1811, its population rose against Spanish colonial rule. It proclaimed independence in 1821, during the government of José María Cornejo (1829-1832) and formally raised its status to that of a town. In March 1871, the town was raided by Salvadorian Liberals with Honduran Army backing after Honduras declared war on El Salvador. In 1948 the town had a population of about 8,000 people. During the war in El Salvador, the road between Sensuntepeque and Ilobasco was important for communications in the area, and one or two patrols a day were made with 25-30 soldiers in the mid-1980s. In 2013, the Archangel St. Michael Catholic School in the El Nazareno colonia added new classrooms and renovated some of the older buildings; this occurred with the financial assistance of the Japanese government. In April 2013, sellers on several main streets at the entrance to the city were evicted by municipal employees. They moved to new stalls, measuring , in the area designated for trade. The move was necessitated by civic construction projects, such as renovation of the bus terminal, and the addition of street signs and crosswalks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sensuntepeque」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
