Corozal Town

English is the official language in Corozal, but Spanish is just as common here. The town was largely rebuilt after Hurricane Janet nearly destroyed it in 1955, so it's neat and modern. Hurricane Dean in 2007 sideswiped Corozal Town, blowing off some roofs and knocking down trees, but otherwise did no serious damage. Many houses are clapboard, built on wooden piles, and other houses are simple concrete-block structures, though the growing clan of expats is putting up new houses that wouldn't look out of place in Florida. One of the few remaining colonial-era buildings is a portion of the old fort in the center of town.
