History
Alonso de Ojeda Square.

Ciudad Ojeda was founded on January 19, 1937 by former president Eleazar López Contreras as a settlement for the inhabitants of Lagunillas de Aguas[1] Today, it is a major center for the oil and gas industry in the Lake Maracaibo region.

On November 13, 1939 a terrible fire destroyed Lagunillas de Agua, causing over 200 fatalities. There are several hypotheses about the cause of the fire that prompted the final and decisive transfer of population to the mainland. The truth is that the oil industry was an oily layer on the lake, which had the potential to ignite the wooden houses built on stilts in the lake. One hypothesis is the accidental fall of a kerosene lamp to the lake from the Bar Caracas. Another is a fire caused by an oil company when he was going to beat his concession, that company helped reconstruction and retained the award after all, there is no evidence of this fact.[2]

Origin of the name

Ciudad Ojeda was named in honor of Alonso de Ojeda, the Spaniard who was the first European to discover Lake Maracaibo.

Population

gollark: Anyway, <@178948413851697152>, please do rewrite that query if you have *better* ideas.
gollark: Oh, probably, but this I can actually understand.
gollark: I have ended up writing this slightly ridiculous query: `SELECT * FROM pages WHERE updated = (SELECT MAX (updated) FROM pages WHERE name = ${req.params.name}) AND name = ${req.params.name}`(no SQL injection there, I use `sql-template-strings`)
