Honduras had been among the least-developed and least-populated provinces at the time of Central American independence (1823).
In 1824 its population was estimated at just over one hundred and thirty-seven thousand.
Despite its meager population, Honduras produces two of the most prominent leaders of the federation, the liberal Francisco Morazán (nicknamed the "George Washington of Central America") and the conservative Jose Cecilio del Valle.
In 1823 del Valle had been narrowly defeated by liberal Manuel Jose Arce for election as the federation's first president.
Morazán overthrows Arce in 1829 and is elected president of the federation in 1830, defeating del Valle.
