Corozal District, Administrative district in northern Belize
The northernmost district of Belize stretches across 1,860 square kilometers of land between Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, encompassing 29 settlements.
Established in 1848 by refugees from the Yucatan Caste War, Corozal District experienced major reconstruction after Hurricane Janet destroyed 90% of structures in 1955.
The district population includes Mestizo, East Indian, and Mennonite communities, with Spanish and English serving as primary languages throughout the region.
The Commercial Free Zone near the Mexican border provides employment for 65% of residents and offers access to imported goods at competitive prices.
The district contains multiple Maya archaeological sites, including Santa Rita and Cerros, where ancient structures date back more than 2,000 years.
