Ancón, Ecuador
Ancón is a rural parish of Santa Elena canton in the province of Guayas, Ecuador. People began settling in the area in late 1923, when the Government of Ecuador conceded 98 mines, occupying an area of 38,842 hectares, to the British oil company Anglo Ecuadorian Oilfields. The area was initially used as a mining camp. For many years, the oilfields were of major national economic importance. Many families relocated to the area in search of work, increasing the area's stature. They remained after the British company left in 1979, taking up such trades as fishing.
