Pasaje Canton, Administrative canton in El Oro Province, Ecuador
The canton encompasses 456 square kilometers of territory at 26 meters above sea level, containing six distinct parishes across urban and rural zones.
The settlement originated in 1758 when Governor Ambrosio Gomal negotiated with Guayaquil authorities to protect the area against land auctioneers.
The population of 83,597 residents includes a majority of mestizo heritage, followed by white, Afro-Ecuadorian, and montubio ethnic groups.
The municipal government provides educational facilities, healthcare services, and public infrastructure across both urban sectors and rural communities.
The original settlement of Uzhcaplaya relocated multiple times due to environmental conditions before establishing its current position as Pasaje Canton.
