Colón Province, Administrative province on the Caribbean coast, Panama
The province includes six districts spread across 4,575 square kilometers of land between the Caribbean Sea and the Panama Canal.
The province received its establishment in 1855 as a key region during the construction of the Panama Railroad for the California Gold Rush.
The area maintains strong Caribbean influences through the presence of Afro-Antillean communities who arrived during the Panama Canal construction period.
The Colon Free Trade Zone handles millions of containers annually, making it the second largest free port in the world after Hong Kong.
The province contains forty-three administrative subdivisions called corregimientos, each with specific governmental functions and local representation.
