Corozal Town is the capital of
Corozal District. Corozal Town is located about 84 miles north of
Belize City, and 9 miles from the border with Mexico. Corozal was a
private estate before becoming a town in the 1840s, mostly settled by
Mestizo refugees from the Caste War of Yucatán.

Much
of the town was built over
an ancient Maya city sometimes known as Santa Rita; this may have been
the original Pre-Columbian town called Chetumal. The town was badly
damaged by Hurricane Janet in 1955 and was substantially rebuilt
afterwards.
Corozal Town has attracted a large expat population, but still remains
a slow moving and sleepy town. The people are very friendly and there
is something of a hippie vibe around. The setting overlooking the
crystal clear bay is tranquil and makes this an ideal place to relax
and just soak in the Caribbean atmosphere.
