La Ceiba is the third largest city of Honduras, containing about 250,000 people. It is located on its northern Caribbean coast. It is the capital of the Department of Atlántida. It is known as the girlfriend of Honduras. It was named after a huge ceiba tree that used to be by the docks.
The city is famous for it's yearly carnival held on the third saturday of May and for its blend of Latino, Caribbean, and Garifuna culture. It is also home to the Dole Food Company which exports bananas, pineapples, and grapefruit. Fishing activities are also important, together with the Bay Islands fleet, comprise the most important fishing group in Caribbean Honduras.
ABC-Honduras is a charity project (100% non-profit) that works in Rio Viejo (Cangrejal River). I would concider this as a part of La Ceiba! I think a charity project, that supports children is way more interesting than for example "railroad pictures". The cangrejal river is also THE tourist attraction of La Ceiba and the ABC project is working on establishing a sense of tourism (through a training center), so that tourism can actually start to grow here and help the people in this area. By the way I also have a big company in La Ceiba but I am not putting my company link on the wikipedia page either.
Wikipedia doesnt particularly support charities, and why should it? I dont actually see any difference between a business and a charity, both are trying to do good and if we put links to charities businesses will want to put links too. Cangrejo is a tourist attraction in La Ceiba but the primary attraction is surely the Zona Viva (Carnaval etc) and what about Pico Bonito? SqueakBox 23:48, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Please show me where it mentions La ceiba, certainly not on the page you have given us, or if so Where? i removed a touristy link too, this page is not an ad for services in la Ceiba. it is also debatable whetehr a charity project like this does any good whatsoever, I might as well add my business link on the basis that that helps Ceiba more than any charity, but I wont so please dont add your work link either, SqueakBox 17:46, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
This LA leads to a disambig page. Do you mean Los Angeles? If so please stop linking to LA which is confusing, SqueakBox 16:24, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
I am wondering where is the list of sister cities of Mumbai? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nirajrm ( talk • contribs) 15:27, 9 February 2007 (UTC). -- Nirajrm talk ||| sign plz! 15:28, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Does it have any? It should twin with La Ceiba, SqueakBox 15:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
The image I had removed earlier is not the downtown or "centro" of La Ceiba. That area is close to the downtown area but not really considered part of el centro. Does anybody mind if I change the caption to something more appropriate? Oscar ( talk) —Preceding comment was added at 18:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, the exact population of the city is always disputed. The last Honduras census in 2000 said that La Ceiba had about 140,000 inhabitants. This was the last official census carried out by the government and let me tell you: if it is in fact over 200,000 right now, that's pretty remarkable! So I think you might want to double check that with an official entity Oscar ( talk) —Preceding comment was added at 03:04, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
There are a few people in the list that don't really belong there. Sure they might be local political figures, but objectively speaking they're not really "distinguished" per se. I wouldn't really refer to former mayors of the city as "distinguished". If that were the case than wouldn't we agree that every mayor the city has ever had should be on the list? I have the same opinion for members of congress.
Like I said, I'm trying to be objective, does anybody else agree? Oscar ( talk) 00:16, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
La Red Vecinos Alerta (RVA) es una organización comunitaria con sede en edificio la española de la colonia Pizzati en la ciudad puerto de La Ceiba. Se fundó el 27 de enero del año 2007 por un grupo de buenos ciudadanos que pretenden elevar la seguridad comunitaria y destacar la voz de alerta temprana en casos de contingencias y desarrollo social.
Su fundador es el ingeniero Joe Kirkconnell quien funge como su presidente vitalicio y ya ha logrado juramentar más de dos mil voluntarios en diferentes barrios y colonias de la ciudad.
La RVA actualmente está trabajando en la parte oriente de la ciudad de La Ceiba, imprime y distribuye una publicación mensual que se llama SOL NEWS, el periódico comunitario de Honduras. Utilizándolo como su órgano de divulgación oficial y medio patrocinador económico del treinta por ciento de sus proyectos en las comunidades.
The title of that section should remain "Distinguished Natives" because there are at least 2 people on that list that don't reside in La Ceiba. Any thoughts? Oscar ( talk) 19:38, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
