'''Sánchez, Dominican Republic''' is a [[Dominican Republic|Dominican]] municipality in the [[Samaná Province|Samaná]] [[province]], on the south coast of the peninsula of Samaná. |
|||
'''Sánchez''' is a municipality located in the [[Samaná Province]] of the Dominican Republic, situated on the southern coast of the Samaná Peninsula. |
|||
===Population=== |
|||
The municipality has a total population of 26,505: 13,436 men and 13,069 women. The urban population was 41.72% of the total population. |

==History== |

Originally known as ''Las Cañitas,'' the town was designated a municipality in 1866 and renamed in honor of Francisco del Rosario Sánchez, one of the founding fathers of the Dominican Republic. Sánchez initially thrived as a small town but gained significant importance with the introduction of a [[Rail transport in the Dominican Republic#History|railway linking it to La Vega]] in the [[Cibao]] region. This railway helped Sánchez become one of the country's most vital ports in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, by 1966, the railway ceased operations,<ref name="vega">{{cite book |
|||
It was a very small town but it grew in importance and population when the [[railway]] from town to La Vega (in [[La Vega Province|La Vega]] province) began to run across the rich region of the Cibao. Sánchez became the most important [[port]] of the country during the rest of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century. The railway worked until [[1966]].<ref name="vega">{{cite book |

==Climate== |
|||
The port has lost its importance because when other ports in the country grew in importance, Sánchez lost its importance as a port. And the Yuna River has been filling the [[Samana Bay]] with [[solid]] [[material]] and only small boats can get to the port. |
|||
Sánchez has a tropical climate characterized by a marked wet and dry season. Temperatures generally range from 20°C (68°F) to 32°C (90°F) throughout the year. The hottest months are typically May and July, with temperatures occasionally reaching up to 39°C (102°F). The municipality receives substantial rainfall, averaging around 2,064.5 mm (81.2 inches) annually. Rainfall is heaviest from May to November, with the dry season occurring from December to April. |
