San Antonio, Chile
San Antonio is a Chilean port city, commune, and the capital of the San Antonio Province in the Valparaíso Region. It has become the main freight port in Chile, surpassing Valparaíso in the 21st century. San Antonio is also the hub of the fishing area that stretches along the Chilean coast from Rocas de Santo Domingo to Cartagena.
The city is situated on hills and coastal dunes, to the north of the Maipo River's mouth, and is divided by two estuaries: Arévalo to the north and El Sauce in the Llolleo section. It is located at 33°35′S and 71°37′W and borders Cartagena to the north, Melipilla and the Maipo River to the east, Santo Domingo and San Pedro to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. It covers an area of 502.5 km2 (194 sq mi).
San Antonio has a Mediterranean climate (Köppen climate classification Csb) with coastal influences and an average annual temperature of 14 °C (57 °F). In January, the average temperature is 19 °C (66 °F), while in July, it is 8.2 °C (46.8 °F). The city receives an annual precipitation of 570 mm (22 in), with most of it concentrated in June, which averages 134 mm (5 in).
Nomadic hunters and gatherers were the first inhabitants of Chilean territory. In this central coastal zone are evidences of ancient habitation extending back about thirteen thousand years.[citation needed]
The city was 80% destroyed by the 1985 Santiago earthquake.[citation needed]
The San Antonio port was shut down by the 27 February 2010 earthquake, but had resumed operation at 80% capacity by 3 March 2010. After the quake, only 5 of the 8 docking points at the port resumed operation.
According to the 2002 census of the National Statistics Institute, San Antonio spans an area of 404.5 km2 (156 sq mi) and has 87,205 inhabitants (42,843 men and 44,362 women).
