Due to its area of 209.31 km2, San Pedro is the third district in territorial extension. Many people have contributed to community development; Among them, the participation of Miguel Ángel Quesada Gamboa, Rodolfo Quirós (President of the first board of education), the Estrada and Ortiz families, Elías Mora, Vicente Elizondo and Marciano Zúñiga stand out.

On the other hand, more recently the work of who was a trustee and councilor, Fernando Umaña, is highlighted, who through his efforts many families managed to have a decent roof; likewise, it contributed to the arrangement of roads, educational infrastructure, health, among others.

Regarding production, its inhabitants dedicate themselves to raising and caring for milk and fattening cattle. Agriculture also occupies an important place and coffee, although with its instability of prices, continues to be a useful income for many families, who earn a little money with the harvesting of the grain.

Another of the projects that stand out in this district is the construction of the Liceo San Pedro, which in its first years of being founded earned the title as the best in academic performance, which is a source of pride for its inhabitants and neighbors. in general.

The tourist part can not go unnoticed either, and although it is not extensive, the foothills of the Chirripó National Park, become an attraction for the district.

With respect to road infrastructure, the improvement is notable; the ballast looks in better condition and from the Interamerican Highway to the population center, the street is paved.

Among the pioneers, Don Severiano Mora, a native of Poás de Aserrí, is remembered. He arrived in Pérez Zeledón from Acosta on October 22, 1946. He lived in La Trocha de Palmares, then in Los Chiles, and then left for San Pedro. Mora fought for this district to have electric light and when the water that was used for consumption arrived, it was taken from a ditch.


gollark: Hmm, troubling.
gollark: ```lualocal function has_cycles(x) local o, e = pcall(textutils.serialise, x) return not o and e:match "recursive"end```
gollark: Well, if you want to know just for serializing things, you can just `pcall` textutils.serialise.
gollark: Changes I made:- check reactor methods in the loop- make the only thing in the `if` statement be setting `txt`, so that it runs the rest of the code for *both*- pass `print` multiple parameters, since it can use that happily- inline calls to stuff- `term` calls directly instead of `shell.run "clear"`, which is mildly more efficient- indentation
gollark: Here is the fixed version.
