Ocotal, Administrative division in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua

Ocotal extends across 85.2 square kilometers of terrain in northern Nicaragua, featuring neighborhoods connected by a network of municipal roads.

Spanish colonists established the settlement in 1543 under the name Nueva Segovia, relocating it in 1780 due to conflicts with indigenous tribes.

The municipality preserves traditional festivals dating to 1792, with celebrations centered around the Catholic feast of the Assumption each August.

Municipal services include public transportation networks, educational facilities, and healthcare centers serving the population of over 50,000 residents.

The area contains marble deposits that support local construction industries, with extraction activities providing employment for numerous residents.
