Caucagua

Caucagua is a Venezuelan city in the state of Miranda, and is the capital of the Acevedo Municipality.

The town of later Caucagua was founded as Valle de Araguata in about 1690.

Bishop Mariano Martí gave it the name Nuestra Señora del Valle de la Santa Cruz de Caucagua in 1784.

In comparison with neighboring towns, Caucagua enjoys a fairly strong economic activity thanks to its location at the crossroads between Caracas, the east of Venezuela, and the rest of the Miranda state.

The city is also an agricultural nucleus, mainly due to its production of cacao in the bordering areas.
