| Ángel R. Cabada is a municipio in central Veracruz state, east central Mexico, south of the port of Veracruz, along the Gulf of Mexico. The municipio was created in 1931 and named after Angel Rosario Cabada (1872-1921), a local agrarian leader. Finds from a pre-hispanic settlement at El Mesón are displayed on the town square, including a stela inscribed with one of the oldest dates in the hemisphere. Geographically, the 2 small rivers of Canes and Tecolapan cross the terrain. Laguna Majahual near the coast is one of several small lagoons in the area. Highway 180 from Veraruz to Veracruz is the main artery, with a spur at El Tropico leading to the Gulf coast and Catemaco, via Montepio. |
