History
Ocumare de la Costa, known for its attractive tourist beaches, hides a great history in its mountains. Today, traveling from other parts of the country to Ocumare is easy compared with previous years; one had to travel by horse and carriage through the mountains (passing through the towns of San Joaquin, El Loro, Hacienda Santa Maria, and Cumboto on the way) in order to get to Ocumare de la Costa. In 1921, the construction of today's modern highway began, and it was completed in 1927.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“You that would judge me do not judge alone
This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
