Yondó, Oil municipality in Magdalena Medio region, Colombia
Yondó stretches along the western bank of the Magdalena River, facing the industrial city of Barrancabermeja across the waterway at 34 meters elevation.
The settlement began in 1941 as a Shell oil company camp, providing housing and facilities for 2,000 workers managing the Casabe oilfield operations.
The municipality preserves archaeological evidence of indigenous settlements dating back to 10,000 BC in the Magdalena River valley region.
The municipality maintains several postal codes, including 053410 for the central district and 053417 for areas like Cienaga La Sardinata and La Laguna.
Shell constructed a self-contained town with modern amenities including air conditioning, theaters, and social clubs during the 1945 oil exploitation period.
