Central Americans
Between Mexico, Colombia
People from Central America—the narrow land bridge connecting North and South America that includes Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama.
The term encompasses diverse populations with indigenous, Spanish colonial, and African heritage: Central Americans have contributed significantly to the fabric of American cities like Los Angeles and Houston.
