La Ceiba
See all La Ceiba Photos
Like so many of Honduras' major cities, La Ceiba's history is intricately tied to the banana trade. Now Honduras' third-largest settlement, La Ceiba was once a sleepy port town, named after a spreading ceiba tree that shaded its dockworkers. From humble origins, La Ceiba grew into a teeming city under the patronage of America's Standard Fruit Company. The banana barons made it into their administrative hub, coordinating export activities here even after shipping was rerouted to Puerto Castilla. The company's influence can still be seen today, most obviously in the Parque Swinford, a gift to the city built adjacent to their sprawling corporate housing complex.
