Nonualco

Nonualco was an indigenous region of central El Salvador, including the towns of Santiago and San Juan Nonualco. Its people worked the land amid the growing estates of the indigo-producing countryside. In 1833 Anastasio Aquino led a Nonualco uprising against forced recruitment and labor. His followers assembled at Santiago Nonualco and advanced toward San Vicente before government forces defeated the rebellion.

The later city of Zacatecoluca lies here.
