Estelí Department, Administrative department in northern Nicaragua
The Estelí Department extends across 2,230 square kilometers of land, encompassing six municipalities and a population of 230,953 residents as of 2021.
The department gained prominence in 1978 during the civil war against the Somoza government, when its capital city underwent reconstruction after substantial military conflicts.
The region maintains strong agricultural traditions centered on tobacco cultivation, with numerous factories producing cigars through methods derived from Cuban expertise.
Located 150 kilometers north of Managua along the Pan-American Highway, the department serves as a commercial hub between the capital and northern Nicaragua.
The department's flag displays three horizontal stripes in red, white, and green colors, with specific proportions different from similar tricolor designs.
