Carabobo, Industrial state in northern Venezuela.
Carabobo stretches across 4,369 square kilometers of varied terrain, from Caribbean coastal areas to mountain ranges and valleys near Lake Valencia.
The Battle of Carabobo in 1821 marked a decisive victory for Venezuelan independence forces under Simon Bolivar against Spanish colonial troops.
The Valencia Lake basin contains numerous archaeological sites with petroglyphs and ceramics from indigenous communities who lived there before European arrival.
The state connects to major Venezuelan cities through an extensive highway network, with Puerto Cabello serving as a primary commercial maritime port.
The name Carabobo derives from indigenous Arawaco words karau and bo, translating to savannah of waters in reference to local geography.
