Veracruz
About Veracruz
Veracruz is a noteworthy port city and district on the Gulf of Mexico in the Mexican province of Veracruz. The city is situated along the coast in the focal piece of the state, 90 km southeast of the state capital Xalapa along Federal Highway 140. It is the state's most crowded city, with a population that is more noteworthy than the region's population, as a component of the city of Veracruz reaches out into the neighboring Boca del Rio Municipality. At the 2010 registration, the city had 554,830 inhabitants, 428,323 in Veracruz Municipality and 126,507 in Boca del Rio Municipality. Created amid Spanish colonization, Veracruz has been Mexico's most established, biggest, and verifiably most noteworthy port.
At the point when the Spanish voyager Hernan Cortes touched base in Mexico on April 22, 1519, he established a city here, which he named Villa Rica de la Vera Cruz, alluding to the region's gold and committed to the "Genuine Cross", since he arrived on the Christian sacred day of Good Friday, the day of the Crucifixion. It was the principal Spanish settlement on the territory of the Americas to get a crest. Amid the pilgrim time frame, this city had the biggest trade class and was now and again wealthier than the capital of Mexico City. Its riches pulled in the strikes of 17th century privateers, against which strongholds, for example, Fort San Juan de Ulua were constructed.
