Cabudare
city
Cabudare (Spanish pronunciation: [kaβuˈðaɾe], original indigenous name Kabudari), is a city in Lara State, in Venezuela, and capital of the Palavecino Municipality. Located at an elevation of 400 m on the Turbio River, it is on the major west-central freeway, the Autopista Centro Occidental. Due to the growth of the economy in Barquisimeto, Cabudare has become a bedroom community, with new housing construction replacing the sugar cane fields. A minority of the population are still engaged in agriculture within the municipality.
There are important private hospitals such as Clínica IDB Cabudare and Hospital Internacional.
The city had 78,578 inhabitants (c. 2011), which represented 40.5% of the total population of the Palavecino municipality.
Cabudare currently represents one of the biggest urban growth in Venezuela, due to its commercial and housing expansion. It has several urbanisations and neighbourhoods where a large quantity of people lives. However, in terms of beauty of the municipality, there are some improvements to be made since there has not been a lot of maintenance in important areas by the previous mayors, so it is needing a push from its inhabitants to their governance in order to improve the city.

Why this record matters
“Cabudare” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Cabudare and city provides the most credible route into that argument.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q580968. VIAF identifies the subject as 159775593. The Library of Congress control number is no2001071063. Authority coordinates are 10.033, -69.263. 4 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2011.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
