Bolívar Canton, Administrative canton in Manabí Province, Ecuador
Bolívar Canton spans 537 square kilometers across northeastern Manabí Province, encompassing three parishes including the urban center of Calceta and rural areas Quiroga and Membrillo.
The canton territory transformed during the late 17th century when mestizo settlers moved into the region due to droughts affecting the Portoviejo River valley.
Residents of Bolívar Canton maintain annual traditions with major celebrations on October 13 for the cantonization day and August 28 for patron festivals in Calceta.
The Carrizal Chone Irrigation System supports agricultural development throughout the lower areas, enabling farmers to cultivate crops such as corn and rice effectively.
Located at 29 meters above sea level, the canton features La Esperanza Reservoir, which provides opportunities for local fishing activities and water resource management.
