Rafael Campo


Rafael Campo Pomar (24 October 1813 – 1 March 1890) was President of El Salvador 12 February 1856 - 1 February 1858.

Campo stepped down after the serious cholera epidemic of 1857 had exhausted the country. He was in office during Central America's "National War" against William Walker and his filibusters, a very difficult time for that region. The book "Apuntes Biogáficos del Honorable Ex-presidente de El Salvador -Don Rafael Campo" by Abraham Rivera (1985 edition) has a photograph of Campo with the caption saying that he is the enemy of foreign intervention in Central America. He died, aged 76, in Puerto de Acajutla on March 1, 1890.
