Colón sat at the Caribbean end of the Panama Railroad and the future canal, and the New Washington Hotel served the travelers, railway workers and officials who passed through the port. Its connection to Theodore Roosevelt traces to November 1906, when he traveled to Panama to inspect canal construction, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to leave the country. Hotels like this one housed the engineers, laborers and visitors who made the project possible. The town's busy commercial streets reflected the American investment that flowed into the isthmus during those years.
