San Pedro Sula

San Pedro Sula is the second most populous city in Honduras located about 60km from the north coast. It is the industrial capital of the city due to the many factories, plantation, and businesses in the area. Most of the job and economic growth in Honduras has been in the San Pedro Sula area. The Spanish were never very attracted to the city and it didn't experience great population growth until the 1920s when it grew from 10,000 to 100,000 inhabitants. Today the city is home to over a million people and continues to expand.
