Republican History of Honduras
The Federal Republic of Central America was a federation that emerged from the Constituent Assembly of the United Provinces of Central America on November 22, 1824, through the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Central America of 1824.
Its capital was Guatemala City until 1834; then it was Sonsonate for a brief period, and finally San Salvador from 1834 to 1839.
The Federation was composed of five states: Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. In 1838, a sixth state, Los Altos, was formed with its capital in the city of Quezaltenango, encompassing the western territories of Guatemala and part of the current Soconusco region of Chiapas (Mexico). The territory of the Federation also included Belize.
It bordered the Pacific Ocean to the southwest, the Caribbean Sea to the northeast, Panama (New Granada province) to the southeast, and Mexico to the northwest.
