Quesada, Administrative district in San Carlos Canton, Costa Rica
Ciudad Quesada extends across 143 square kilometers at the foot of the Cordillera Central mountain range, near the southern edge of San Carlos Plain.
The settlement began in 1884 when the Quesada brothers claimed lands in San Carlos plains, establishing a community initially named La Union.
The Cathedral of Saint Charles Borromeo stands as the central religious structure, representing the establishment of the Diocese of Ciudad Quesada in 1995.
The district connects to other regions through National Routes 140, 141, and 748, serving as the primary commercial center for agricultural enterprises.
The district produces 65 percent of Costa Rica's total milk consumption, making it the leading dairy production center in the country.
