Ciudad Ojeda
Ciudad Ojeda, Zulia, Venezuela
Description
Ciudad Ojeda is a young, planned city on the Eastern Coast of Lake Maracaibo, founded in 1937 as a new home for the inhabitants of Lagunillas de Agua, the old stilt-house town built over the lake's waters. That singular origin gave Ciudad Ojeda a modern layout and a thriving character, tied from birth to the oil industry and the work of its people. Today it is one of the main urban centers of Zulia state and a key connection point on the Eastern Coast, where trade, services, and the energy that drives the entire region intersect.
Ciudad Ojeda is the capital of the Lagunillas municipality, which according to the 2011 census recorded 203,435 inhabitants, equal to 5.49% of Zulia state's population, with recent estimates near 240,000 people (Wikipedia, "Municipio Lagunillas (Zulia)," accessed 2026). Its economy revolves around the oil and gas industry of the Lake Maracaibo region, complemented by a solid commercial and service sector.
