Xaibe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Xaibe is a village in the Corozal District of the nation of Belize. Xaibe is located at Longitude: -88,43333 Latitude: 18,38333. According to the 2000 census, it had a population of 1,254 people. Xaibe was one of the first villages to be inhabited by Maya immigrants who had drifted quietly over the border with Mexico during the first decade of the Caste War of Yucatan. Xaibe may be translated roughly as "cross-roads" which would seem to indicate that this village was an early settlement across which the Maya immigrants travelled to reach further outposts and developing villages.
