Ornofay

Ornofay was an Indigenous district of central Cuba, named in early descriptions of the island before Spanish rule. It lay toward the southern side of the island, east of Magón and south of the inland country of Cubanacán. Plains and rivers extend from the interior toward a low coast fringed by cays. The district’s name recalls the Indigenous communities whose territories preceded the colonial towns of the region.

The later city of Ciego de Ávila lies here.
