Corozal Town is a town in the nation of Belize. It is the capital of Corozal District. Corozal Town is located about 96 miles north of Belize City, and 9 miles from the border with Mexico. The population is about 8,100. Corozal was a private estate before becoming a town in the 1840s, mostly settled by Mestizo refugees from the Caste War[?] in Yucatan. Much of the town was built over an ancient Maya city sometimes known as Santa Rita[?]. The town was badly damaged by Hurricane Janet[?] in 1955 and was substantially rebuilt afterwards.
