 San Pedro Sula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
San Pedro Sula is a city in the Central American republic of Honduras.
The building of a rail line between San Pedro and the coast, and connecting the banana plantations to the ports of Tela and Puerto Cortes spurred the development of San Pedro as an industrial city.
San Pedro, whose name has evolved over the years to San Pedro Sula (after the mines to the west), was officially recognized as a city by the Congress of Honduras on October 8, 2002, long after it had grown to be the industrial capital of Honduras, and the second largest city in the country.
