Ciudad Bolívar ({{IPA-es|sjuˈðað βoˈliβaɾ}}; Spanish for "Bolivar City"), formerly known as Angostura[3] and St. Thomas de Guyana,[4] is the capital of Venezuela's southeastern Bolívar State. It lies at the spot where the Orinoco River narrows to about {{convert|1|mi}} in width, is the site of the first bridge across the river, and is a major riverport for the eastern regions of Venezuela.

Historic Angostura gave its name to the Congress of Angostura, to the Angostura tree, to the House of Angostura, and to Angostura bitters. Modern Ciudad Bolívar has a well-preserved historic center; a cathedral and other original colonial buildings surround the Plaza Bolívar.

History

Originally a Spanish settlement, it was called Saint Thomas of Guyana. The settlement was a fortified port which had to be moved on three occasions because it was constantly attacked by Carib natives and European rivals, such as the Dutch and English.[5]

Saint Thomas of Guyana was first located in present day Ciudad Guayana near the Caroní River until Dutch forces led by Captain Adrian Janson destroyed the town in 1579.[5] The second settlement was founded by Don Antonio de Berrío, who had arrived from the New Granada with the mission of colonizing Guiana, and was moved westward down the Carońi about {{Convert|66|km|mi}}.[5] One of Walter Raleigh's expeditions sacked the second settlement in 1617, resulting in the death of his son Watt Raleigh.[5][6]

The third and present day city was officially founded in 1764 by Don Joacquin Moreno de Mendoza as San Tomas de la Nueva Guayana[5]{{sfnp|EB|1878}} or Santo Tomé de Guayana de Angostura del Orinoco, named in honor of its diocese and for its position at the first narrows of the Orinoco River. The Spanish relied on trade from the Dutch colony of Essequibo further down the Caroní River until 1771.[5]

Ciudad Bolívar was the site of the Congress of Angostura from 1819 to 1821. It was responsible for the creation of Gran Colombia in its first year of operation.{{sfnp|EB|1878}} Angostura bitters were invented in the city in 1824, although the company which produced them later moved to Trinidad and Tobago.[7]

The city was renamed in honor of Simon Bolivar in 1846.

The Venezuelan artist Jesús Rafael Soto was a native of the city. The Jesús Soto Museum of Modern Art, named in his honor and designed by Venezuelan architect Carlos Raúl Villanueva, was opened in 1973.

Law and government

Ciudad Bolívar's municipal government is led by the mayor. Its local legislature is the Municipal Council, made up of seven councillors. A municipal comptroller oversees the public finances, and the Local Public Planning Council manages the municipality's development.[8]
