El Chorrillo
El Chorrillo is a district within Panama City, Panama. It was founded April 29, 1915, and was originally populated by immigrants working on the construction of the Panama Canal; many were from the Antilles. The impoverished area is the hometown of Manuel Noriega and was damaged during the United States invasion of Panama in 1989.[1] Other former residents of note include boxer Roberto Durán and poet Hector Miguel Collado.
El Chorillo is the only district in Panama with two first-division clubs - Chorrillo F.C. and Plaza Amador - in the Liga Panameña de Fútbol.
