Caucagua
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Caucagua is a Venezuelan city in the state of Miranda, and is capital of the Acevedo Municipality.
The city was founded in 1917 by Capuchinos Missionaries under the name of Orocusna. In the 2000 census, the population was estimated at 35,000. Cacagua is fairly prosperous because it is in crossroads between Caracas, the east of Venezuela, and the rest of the Miranda state. The city is also an agricultural nucleus, mainly due to its production of cacao in the bordering areas.
