Managua, Administrative division in Managua, Nicaragua
The department of Managua extends over 3,465 square kilometers of land between Lake Xolotlan and the Pacific coastal plains of Nicaragua.
The administrative division of Managua became formalized in 1852 when the city gained its status as the capital of Nicaragua.
The department incorporates multiple ethnic communities, including mestizo, indigenous, and Afro-Caribbean populations, reflecting Nicaragua's demographic composition.
The department contains fifteen municipalities, with public transportation networks connecting residential areas to commercial centers and government institutions.
Lake Xolotlan forms the northern boundary of the department, creating natural barriers that influence local agricultural practices and water management.
