Everything about Anc N Panama totally explained
Ancón is a township in central
Panama, northeast of the city of
Balboa.
Ancon Hill is also the name of a large hill that overlooks
Panama City, and served as a form of protection from
pirates, and sea invasion. The township was originally located around this hill, and was created to house employees of the
Panama Canal during its construction. As part of the construction effort, the historic
Gorgas Hospital was founded in this township and built on the slope of the hill. This township served as housing for employees of the Panama Canal Company until 1980 when parts of it began to be turned over to the country of Panama as a part of the 1977
Torrijos-Carter Treaties. Modern Ancón is a suburb of Panama City, serving mainly as a residential, medical and research center, including the Gorgas Hospital for tropical diseases, and the
Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute for research into tropical biology. In 2008, its population was estimated 10,634.
