Unofficial
estimates place the population of Belize City at 70,800 or more people.
Belize City is the nation's principal port and its financial and
industrial hub. Several cruise ships drop anchor outside the port and
are tended by local citizens. The city was almost entirely destroyed in
1961 when Hurricane Hattie swept ashore on October 31. It was the
capital of British Honduras (as Belize was then named) until the
government was moved to the new capital of Belmopan in 1970.
Belize Town slowly improved its infrastructure
and has been the object
of numerous infrastructural projects. Nevertheless, many of the streets
built from colonial days are still small and congested, a majority of
houses are still susceptible to fire and damage from hurricanes, and
the city is always awaiting something calamitous to happen.
