About Atuntaqui

Atuntaqui is a town of 21,000 population within the Imbabura Province within the northern vicinity of Ecuador. The town is positioned at an altitude of 2,four hundred metres. Atuntaqui is positioned simply thirteen kilometres from the bigger city of Ibarra, north along the Panamerican dual carriageway. even though the sector call is Antonio Ante, those who go to or have heard of it perceive it greater as Atuntaqui, a name that has obtained several meanings via history. in keeping with Father Juan de Velasco, it's miles composed of phrases - hatun and taqui, i.e. 'large drum'. Jacinto Jijon y Caamano identifies it as a 'land wealthy in truth'; Gonzalez Suarez rejects this meaning and translates it as 'large barn'. Others name it 'location of the inn' or 'tightly closed city'.

On August thirteen, 1868 Atuntaqui become in part destroyed by way of an earthquake that left heaps useless and homeless. After its reconstruction and its subsequent improvement, the textile manufacturing facility, which set up an hydroelectric plant at the banks of the Ambi river and the appearance of the railway within the city of Andrade Marín, placed 2.5 km east of Atuntaqui, became particularly vital.
