Cumana in Venezuela VENEZUELA venezuela. cumana Informations and links Cumana Map Cumana Photos Cumana Population on 21-Oct-01 : 263000 ------------------------------- Cuman? (305,000 inhabitants) is the capital of Venezuela's Sucre State. It is located 402 km east of Caracas. It was the first city to be founded by Europeans on the South American mainland, an event that occurred in 1521 by a group of Spaniards commanded by Gonzalo de Ocampo. In its subsequent history the city was on several occasions destroyed by earthquakes, leaving little of the old city. Today the city, situated at the mouth of the Manzanares river on the Caribbean coast in the NE of Venezuela, is home to one of five sites for the Universidad del Oriente and a busy maritime city with one of the largest tuna fleet in Venezuela. One of the best reasons for the renown of the city is the nearby Mochima national park which boasts some of Venezuela's finest beaches. (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..
