Carrillo is the fifth canton in the province of Guanacaste in Costa Rica. The canton covers an area of 577.54 km²,〔Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN), 2001. 〕 and has a population of 39,731.〔(Estadísticas Vitales 2013 ) - INEC〕 Its capital city is Filadelfia. The name of the canton is in honor of former head of state Braulio Carrillo Colina. The canton is shaped like a boot, with the Pacific Ocean at the top. The Río Tempisque decorates the front of the boot from top to toe. The Río Cañas and Río Bolsón provide the heel and sole. ==History== In the 18th century a group of ladinos settled on the west bank of the middle Tempisque River, where there was a grove of trees called "sietecueros" (Lonchocarpus costericensi), giving rise to the population that corresponds to the city of Filadelfia, head of the canton. In Executive Decree No. 22 of June 16, 1877, Carrillo was declared a canton of Guanacaste province. The oldest population of the canton is Sardinal, proof of this is the mention of the place made by Brother Don Antonio Muñoz, following his visit in late 1794 for a collection of handouts that he performed in several villages of Guanacaste.〔 http://www.guiapeninsular.com/historia.html〕 In the 1830s, the residents of neighborhoods of Sietecueros and Sardinal, asked the then Head of State, Braulio Carrillo Colina, to be separated from the village of Santa Cruz and to be incorporated into Guanacaste City (now Liberia) in a civil and ecclesiastical way, this request was received when it was issued the Decree No. 5 of February 23, 1839.〔 http://www.vivaguanacaste.com/index.php/localidades/canton_de_carrillo.html〕 In the school division in 1886, Sardinal was selected as the second school district of the canton in Law No. 60 of August 9, and Filadelfia was selected as part of the first school district. The main high school (Colegio Técnico Profesional Agropecuario, Agricultural Vocational Technical High School) began his teaching activities in 1965, during the administration of Francisco Orlich Bolmarcich. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carrillo (canton)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
