A city at the mouth of the Escondido River and the Caribbean Sea, Bluefields is home to a large black settlement on the east coast of Nicaragua and is strongly associated with Black Creole culture.  Nicaragua has the largest population of African descent in Central America and approximately two-thirds of that group resides in and around Bluefields.

On May 4, 1990, Bluefields became the capital of the South Atlantic Autonomous Region.  In this new role as a regional capital some of Bluefield's Creoles have again risen to positions of economic and political prominence.
