Corozal District
Corozal town - (Population: 10,000
approximately)
Located on the fringe of picture-book Corozal Bay, the town is set off
by a multitude of coconut palms and flowering flamboyant' trees. It is 96
miles north of Belize City. Corozal Town is a modern well-planned
community with wide boulevards and many parks.
A private estate prior to 1849, it was settled predominantly by Mestizo
refugees from neighbouring Quintana Roo province of Mexico. It was once
the scene of determined attacks by Maya Indians. The remains of an old
fort still exist in the center of the town.
Ringing the Central Park are a modernistic Catholic Church, Library,
Town Hall, Adventist Church and government administrative offices. The
town has two secondary schools, five elementary schools, three filling
stations, two banks, a government hospital, clinic, cinema, small hotels,
piped water supply and several clubs.
Corozal Bay is ideal for fishing and sea-bathing. Cerros, at the head
of the Bay, is an interesting Mayan archaeological feature. The
international bridge to Mexico is just nine miles away.
The town is surrounded by many small villages, and its economy is
sustained by a-large sugar industry with a processing factory nearby. Both
Spanish and English are spoken. There are many festive occasions like the
Columbus Day Celebrations, Carnival and fiestas in the surrounding
villages.
