Santiago de Cuba is the birthplace of Bacardi, which was founded here in 1862. After nationalisation the plant passed to the Cuban state. Today it makes Santiago de Cuba and Caney rums, with a rum museum in the city. The cited date is for the original Bacardi distillery and the coordinates are for the city, so treat both as approximate for the present-day plant.
