01 · Overview

Ocaña, in brief

Geographical Setting and Regional Context

Ocaña is a city situated in Colombia. The municipality is positioned within the Norte de Santander Department.

Geographical coordinates place the settlement at a latitude of 8.23773 and a longitude of -73.35604. Operating within the America/Bogota timezone, the locality functions under the national currency designated as COP, and the recorded population of the city reaches 101158 residents.

As an administrative and geographic entity located in Colombia, Ocaña stands distinct from other global locations sharing the same name, such as the town of Ocaña located in the province of Toledo, Spain, or the commune of Ocana situated in the Corse-du-Sud department on the island of Corsica in France. The urban center is also entirely separate from the Mesa de Ocaña comarca in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, and does not serve as a country capital. Linguistic usage within the area is represented by es-CO.

Geographically, the surrounding region connects to various historical and administrative references, including the Diocese of Ocaña and the historical Convention of Ocaña held in 1828. Distinct from European namesakes associated with the Battle of Ocaña during the Peninsular War, the South American urban settlement maintains its own defined coordinates and population metrics within the Norte de Santander Department.
