Puerto Castilla, Honduras

Puerto Castilla is a village in the Colón Department of Honduras located approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of Trujillo.

This port city on the Caribbean Sea (Atlantic Ocean) was the one-time site of the United Fruit Company's Castilla Division which specialized in the growth, cultivation and shipments of the Gros Michel banana.

During World War II the seaplane base supported military operations including surveillance and security in conjunction with Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

An original hospital building (recently renovated by the Honduran Navy for an educational center) and an old barracks are the last remaining evidence of the abandoned United Fruit presence.

Leigh Richardson, a leading figure in the early Belizean independence movement, was born in Puerto Castilla in 1924.
