Olancho is one of the 18 departments
into which the Central American nation of Honduras is divided. It
is the largest of all the departments, and Hondurans frequently point
out that the department is larger than the neighboring Republic of
El Salvador. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Olancho
resisted government authority from Tegucigalpa to the point of causing
a civil war.
