Puerto El Triunfo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Puerto El Triunfo is a municipality in the Usulután department of El Salvador
This city is located in the south of the department, with an increasing population due to many facts that have changed the life of the majority of the residents, as per emigration to USA in the decade of the '80s due to Civil War , the breakdown of Fishing Companies such as PEZCA, SA, Mariscos de El Salvador, Atarraya SA, and the increasing of gangs since the '90s. At the present year 2009 the gangs control many areas of Puerto El Triunfo, to the point that people avoid visiting certains areas during the night.
It is the most visited place in the department of Usulutan due to its Jiquilisco Bay and the modern ways of transportation around the bay.
[edit] Civil War
Compared to other cities of El Salvador, Puerto El Triunfo was not affected by the subversive groups due to its location at the coast, and the collaboration of the local fishing companies to these groups. Civil War created a tension between the residents and the companies; as a result these companies broke down and closed off, due the fast emigration of people to United States of America. During the war many habitants were assesinated by the military , mainly by the National Guard this was the main cause of migration to the U.S.A ,Canada and other countries
