INTRODUCTION

Belmopan or "Garden City" is the smallest capital in the world. This tiny city has a population of 7,100. Like any other small city, walking is the most used transportation, but if taking a cab sounds better, going anywhere in a taxi costs $3.00.

HISTORY

Belize City was originally Belize's capital. After a 1961 hurricane (Hurricane Hatty), this city was left devastated, therefore Belmopan took its place as capital city.
