Article History

Nacaome, city, southern Honduras, on the seasonally dry Nacaome River.

It was founded in 1535 and given city status in 1845. Its colonial church, rebuilt in 1867, still stands. Nacaome is a manufacturing and commercial centre. Cement products are made in the city, which also contains tanneries. The surrounding agricultural lands yield principally corn (maize) and beans. Gold and silver are mined at El Tránsito, just west of the city. Nacaome is on the Pan-American Highway, and from nearby Jicaro a highway leads northward to Tegucigalpa, the national capital. Pop. (2001) 13,931; (2013) 17,024.
