Founded in the late 19th century, Morolica was destroyed by flooding associated with Hurricane Mitch in October 1998. The current Morolica, also known as New Morolica, is located in a valley some five kilometers from the original site.
The current mayor is Ever Gomez of the liberal party. Morolica in its entirety accounts for some 6-7,000 people spread out over the city and its aldeas (villages), with around 1,200 living in the city itself.
Morolica possesses four churches: Evangelical, Baptist, Pentecostal, and Catholic.
The main industry is farming and the economy doesn't stretch much beyond that. Possessing a kindergarten, elementary school, high school, public library, court, health center, census office, and mayor's office, the largest employer by far is the government.
