San Ramón Canton, Administrative canton in Alajuela Province, Costa Rica.
San Ramón Canton is an administrative division in Alajuela Province that spans a mountainous territory across fourteen districts. The location brings together highland areas with views toward the Central Valley and agricultural communities.
The territory became an official canton on August 21, 1856, marking a key administrative milestone in the region's development. Population growth over subsequent generations reflected the area's increasing importance as a settlement.
The region is known as the "Land of Poets" and carries a strong literary heritage visible in local place names and community stories. This artistic connection shapes how residents take pride in their surroundings and local identity.
The area is well connected by main road routes that cross through all districts and provide direct access between communities. Visitors should be prepared for hilly terrain, especially when traveling between the outer areas and lower valleys.
On Friday and Saturday, the Feria del Agricultor market comes alive with farmers and sellers displaying their goods in a lively trading scene. It has become the heart of local commerce, where visitors can find fresh farm products and regional foods.
