The name of the capital city of Belize, Belmopan, is a union of the words “Belize” and “Mopan”; the Mopan river flows near the planned capital city. It was founded because Belize City was nearly 75% destroyed in 1961 due to Hurricane Hattie, and Belize officials wanted a better location for a capital city. Even though Belize has been independent since 1981 and Belmopan the official capital since 1970, embassies have been slow to move; The US embassy in Belmopan only opened in 2006, and four embassies and 29 consulates (including Canada’s) are still in Belize City.
The Mopan begins in neighboring Guatemala before reaching the Belize River at its confluence with the Macal River..
