The History of Paja Toquilla H

Fill in the Blanks

It is said that back in 1835, people in Montecristi, Manabi sent boxes of hats to
Manta and Guayaquil to be exported to Panama. The time coincided with the
California Gold Rush (1848-1855), which made the hat famous because of the
abundant sun on the west coast of the United States. They became so popular in
the ports of Panama that the name was quickly linked to that location.
During the construction of the Panama Canal, Theodore Roosevelt, who was the
president of United States at that time, wore those kinds of hats and contributed to
their increasing popularity. Many workers also wore them. It is said that many
passengers who were passing through the canal also made the hats famous. They
became really valued around the world. Edward VII of England ordered a hat for
himself and paid a lot of money for it. In 1985, the hat was selected as one of the
100 best designs ever by the Conrad Foundation in England. Also, in 2017, the
UNESCO declared paja toquilla hats as part of the list of Intangible Cultural
Heritage of Humanity
