El Salvador borders Guatemala to the west and Honduras to the north and east, to the southeast the Gulf of Fonseca separates it from Nicaragua, and flanked to the south by the Pacific Ocean. Its territory is organized into 14 departments, 39 districts and 262 municipalities.

The city of San Salvador is the capital of the country. Its metropolitan area includes 14 nearby municipalities, and concentrates the political and economic activity of the republic. The cities of Santa Ana and San Miguel are other important centers of the country. The current territory of El Salvador includes what used to be the Mayor's Office of Sonsonate and what was the Intendancy of San Salvador that formed the majority of the territory. Both provinces acquired their independence from Spain in 1821 together with the General Captaincy of Guatemala and in 1824 they united to form the "State of Salvador", as part of the Federal Republic of Central America. In pre-Columbian times, there was an important indigenous nucleus known as the Señorío de Cuzcatlán.

A 12-year civil war, whose human cost reached approximately 75,000 lives, ended on January 16,1992, when the government and the guerrillas signed the peace agreements that led to military, social and political reforms in the country.
