Santa Marta (English spelling)
The capital of the Magdalena Department in northern Colombia. Population 309,372 (1995). Founded in 1525 by Rodrigo de Bastidas at the mouth of the Manzanares River for the conquest and development of the Colombian region, it was the first town in South America to have small-scale industries in cocoa and cotton. At the end of the 19th century, the United Fruit Company opened a banana plantation nearby, and it developed as a shipping port. In 1961, a railway line was opened between the city and Bogotá, and the city began to handle most of the goods bound for the Magdalena Valley, increasing its importance.
