History

 * The municipality of Ciudad Sandino was founded in 1969.
 * The beginning of Ciudad Sandino dates back to 1969, when serious flooding occurred due to the flooding of Lake Xolotlán, the product of a tropical depression in Nicaragua. Neighborhoods adjacent to the lake shore such as La Tejera, Miralagos, Quinta Nina, Acahualinca and others were affected by the phenomenon, and their inhabitants had to be moved to a safer place.
 * Firstly, it was given the name of Reparto Santa María on the receipts for payments for the acquisition of land; later it was replaced by the name of OPEN-3.
 * In 1972, the earthquake that destroyed Managua forced many families to move and settle precariously in the OPEN-3 project. This influx of numerous offspring affected by the event that destroyed their homes, came to give life to OPEN-3.
 * On July 17, 1979, the name of OPEN-3 was changed to Ciudad Sandino.
 * In October 1998, the shores of Lake Xolotlán, due to Hurricane Mitch, grew and flooded the neighborhoods adjacent to its shores, forcing seven thousand people to be transferred to the "Nueva Vida" settlement, located on the west side of Ciudad Sandino.
 * In January 2000, the municipality of Ciudad Sandino was created as part of the department of Managua.
 * The municipality of Ciudad Sandino has a population of approximately 124,000 people.
