The city name is derived from the "palma de corozo" (grugru palm,
Acrocomia media) which abounds in the central zone of the Island.
Corozal is located in the central-eastern region,
north of Orocovis and Barranquitas; south
Vega Alta; southwest of Toa Alta;
east of Morovis and Orocovis; and west of Naranjito.
Major rivers include: Manatí, Cibuco, De los Negros, Corozal and Grande de Manatí.
Corozal is home to the Historical Center of Cibuco, a park and museum with relics from the puertorican
natives (tainos) as well as objects, paintings and artifacts from the town's history.
