San Pedro (Belize) is a city on Ambergris Caye in the Belize District in Belize.
background
When the box war in Mexico raged, a group of mestizo refugees ended up here and they founded the city of San Pedro. They first grew logwood for the dye industry and later produced chicle for the production of chewing gum. When the economic crisis heralded the end of chicle production in 1930, people remembered the good old coconuts, the harvest of which increasingly formed the livelihood of the islanders. Between 1942 and 1955, the coconut plantations were severely damaged by hurricanes several times. During this period, the lobster established itself as the basis of life. But that changed radically in 1965 when the first hotel was opened. Since then, tourism has been responsible for a steadily increasing share of per capita income. Today there is hardly a city in Belize that has such a large infrastructure to offer. This place is especially popular with American tourists.
