El Salvadorsovereign country located on the Pacific Coast of Central America.[1] The area was originally called by the Pipil "Cuzcatan", in Spanish "Cuzcatlan", which in Nahuat means "The Land Of Precious Things". After the Spanish conquest, the land was divided into the province of San Salvador (which would become, throughout the colonial era, a alcaldía mayor (great mayor's office), intendency, and finally a province with a provincial council) and the province of Izalcos (which would become be called the mayor's office of Sonsonate); until in 1824 the two jurisdictions were united in the State (of the Central America Federal República), now Republic, of El Salvador.[2][3] The country borders the Pacific Ocean between Guatemala and Honduras.
