The Zamorano Pan-American Agricultural School (Spanish: Escuela Agrícola Panamericana Zamorano), generally known as El Zamorano or Zamorano, is a private, coeducational university located in the valley of the Yeguare river, Honduras. El Zamorano's main focus is agricultural and there are four different programs to choose from in the school. Enrollment stands at more than 1000 students. It is currently registered in Delaware as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Zamorano is host to students from diverse countries (Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Chile, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, Paraguay, México and more). The school was founded in 1941 by Samuel Zemurray (1877-1961) a Russian born American and president of the United Fruit Company. Mr. Zemurray set out to create a high quality agricultural education center, devoted to the training of youth from throughout the region. To carry out this dream, he recruited Dr. Wilson Popenoe, a renowned botanist and horticulturist of the time who had extensive experience in the region, and had already organized the famous Lancetilla Botanical Gardens in Honduras.
