Capital status
National capital of Nicaragua
Managua is the capital and largest city of Nicaragua, home to roughly 1.06 million residents in the city proper and about 1.4 million in the wider metropolitan area. It observes Central Standard Time (CST, UTC-6) year-round under the IANA zone America/Managua, with no daylight saving time. The city stretches along the southern shore of Lake Managua, also called Xolotlan, on a low volcanic plain that climbs into the Sierras de Managua to the south. Chosen as the national capital in 1852 as a compromise between the rival cities of Leon and Granada, Managua has been repeatedly reshaped by disaster: catastrophic earthquakes in 1931 and 1972 flattened much of the old downtown, leaving an unusually decentralised cityscape. Today it concentrates Nicaragua's banking, government, light manufacturing, and the country's main airport.
