Juan Mora Fernández

Juan Mora Fernández (1784 on San José – 1854) was Costa Rica's last elected head of state. He was considered a liberal and decided to move the capital from Cartago to Puntarenas. Juan Mora was elected as the last head of state in 1825. He is remembered for instituting land reform, and he followed a progressive course. As a consequence of his land reform structure, he inadvertently created an elite class of powerful coffee barons. The barons eventually overthron one of his later successors, José María.
