Ciudad Ojeda in Venezuela VENEZUELA venezuela. ciudad-ojeda Informations and links Ciudad Ojeda Map Ciudad Ojeda Photos Ciudad Ojeda Population on 21-Oct-01 : 114000 ------------------------------- Ciudad Bol?var is the capital of the eastern Venezuelan state of Bol?var. It was founded with the name Angostura in 1764, renamed in 1846, and, as of 2000, had an estimated population of 312,691. The town lies at a narrowing of the Orinoco River and the original name was a contraction of the town's full descriptive name, 'Santo Tom? de Guayana de Angostura del Orinoco', "Saint Thomas of Guyana of the narrows of the Orinoco." The city lies at a spot where the Orinoco narrows to about 1 mile (1.6 km) in width, and today is the site of the only bridge across the river. Two more bridges are under construction. It today serves as an important port of eastern Venezuela on the Orinoco River. One of the Orinoco Basin's chief commercial centers, its main products include gold, iron ore, cattle, hides and rare woods. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) Venezuela was one of three countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others being Colombia and Ecuador). For most of the first half of the 20th century, Venezuela was ruled by generally benevolent military strongmen, who promoted the oil industry and allowed for some social reforms. Democratically elected governments have held sway since 1959. Current concerns include: an embattled president, a divided military, drug-related conflicts along the Colombian border, increasing internal drug consumption, overdependence on the petroleum industry with its price fluctuations, and irresponsible mining operations that are endangering the rain forest and indigenous peoples..
