Antiguo Cuscatlán, Municipality in La Libertad Department, El Salvador

Antiguo Cuscatlán sits at 849 meters above sea level, featuring industrial zones, residential areas, and coffee plantations across its territory.

The settlement originated in 1054 when Topiltzin Atzil established Cuzcatlan with 10,000 inhabitants and 12,000 additional people living near the sacred lake.

The name combines Spanish and Nahuatl languages, with Cuscatlán meaning country of medals or jeweled city in the indigenous tongue.

The municipality contains three major industrial zones - Santa Elena, Plan de la Laguna, and Merliot - hosting companies in food, plastics, and textile sectors.

The municipality maintains one of the highest per capita incomes in El Salvador at $22,783, substantially exceeding the national average.
