Happy Annexation of Nicoya Day! 🤩🙌🏽
Today we celebrate 199 years of the annexation of Nicoya to Costa Rica. ❤️
The annexation of Nicoya occurred on July 25th, 1824, when the Nicoya territory was incorporated into the State of Costa Rica. A large part of this territory is part of the Province of Guanacaste today.
The annexation took place through a referendum in the city of Nicoya, in which, in an open town hall, the inhabitants of the municipalities of Nicoya and Santa Cruz voted to join Costa Rica.
➡️It should be noted that the term annexation of Guanacaste to refer to this event is considered historically incorrect. 👀
