'''San Fernando''', officially the '''City of San Fernando''', is the most populous city and second most populous municipality in [[Trinidad and Tobago]], after [[Chaguanas]]. '''Sando''', as it is known to many local Trinidadians, occupies 19 km<sup>2</sup> and is located in the southwestern part of the island of [[Trinidad]]. It is bounded to the north by the [[Guaracara River]], the south by the [[Oropouche River]], the east by the [[Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway]], and the west by the [[Gulf of Paria]]. The former [[borough]] was elevated to the status of a city corporation on 18 November 1988. The motto of San Fernando is: ''"Sanitas Fortis"'' - ''In a Healthy Environment We Will Find Strength''. San Fernando is called Trinidad and Tobago's "industrial capital" because of its proximity to the [[Pointe-à-Pierre]] oil refinery and many other petrochemical, [[LNG]], iron and steel and aluminium smelters in places such as [[Point Lisas]] in [[Couva]], [[Point Fortin]], and [[La Brea, Trinidad and Tobago|La Brea]].

San Fernando is a coastal city. It is bounded by the [[Guaracara River]] to the north, the [[Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway]] to the east, the [[Southern Main Road]] to the southeast, and the Oropouche River to the south. The city proper is located on the flanks of two hills – San Fernando Hill (formerly known as Naparima Hill) and Alexander Hill. Several mansions on the pinnacle of Alexander Hill house belong to some of the more prominent San Fernandian families. The Cipero, Vistabella, Marabella and Godineau Rivers all enter the sea within the city limits.
