Francisco Morazán

Francisco Morazán was president of the United Provinces of Central America. He was unsuccessful in maintaining their unity but is considered a hero in Honduras to this day. While president, he enacted liberal reforms that helped form the basis of representative government for the region. A statue of him on a horse resides in the main plaza of Tegucigalpa. Tegucigalpa, the capital city of Honduras, is located in the department (state) of Francisco Morazán.
