Article History

San Antonio de los Baños, city, west-central Cuba. It lies on the San Antonio de los Baños River, about 20 miles (32 km) southwest of Havana.

The early settlement prospered and became a health resort because of its thermal springs. The city is also a commercial and manufacturing centre for the surrounding agricultural lands, which produce tobacco, sugarcane, and pineapples. Cigars, clothes, and yeast are manufactured, and a sugar refinery is located nearby. Havana can be reached by railroad and highway. The city has a military airport. Pop. (2002) 32,582; (2011 est.) 35,760.
