Nacaome

Nacaome is the capital city of the Valle department of Honduras. It is a manufacturing and commercial center, located on the Nacaome River.

Nacaome is an old city, since aborigen Cholulas and Chaparrastiques, tired of fighting each other, reflected and joined together to built new houses in the middle of their territory on the west side of the Chapulapa River (aborigen name of Nacaome River), named the new town Naca-Ome meaning union of two races, in their dialects. In nahuatl Naca means race, body and Ome means two. This foundation happened before the Spanish conquers came.

Nacaome has been affected by Hurricane Stan.
