Article History

Córdoba, city, west-central Veracruz estado (state), east-central Mexico. It lies at 3,031 feet (924 metres) above sea level along the San Antonio River, within sight of the dormant Volcano Pico de Orizaba. The settlement was founded in 1618 as Villa de Córdoba and was host to the signing of the Treaty of Córdoba on August 24, 1821, which gave Mexico its independence from Spain. The city is set in a tropical landscape and retains a colonial atmosphere. It is a processing centre for coffee, sugarcane, tobacco, and bananas and other fruits raised in the area. It is also a highway and railroad junction. In August 1973 an earthquake centred near Córdoba caused widespread destruction in the city and throughout central Mexico. Pop. (2010) 140,896; (2020) 139,075.
