<B>Seems to be a town in a Municipality "OF" the same name :)</B>

DEPARTAMENTO DE OLANCHO

Municipio de Guarizama

Datos Históricos:

En el censo de Población de 1887 figuraba como aldea de Manto.

En 1901 le dieron categoría de municipio.
En esa época se conocía con el nombre de San Juan de Guarizama.

CREASE EL MUNICIPIO DE GUARIZAMA, EN EL DEPARTAMENTO DE OLANCHO.

Tegucigalpa, 11 de enero de 1901.

"Con vista de la solicitud elevada AL Poder Ejecutivo por un número considerable de vecinos de las aldeas de Guarizama, Carta y Trinidad, comprendidas en la jurisdicción municipal del pueblo de Manto, departamento de Olancho, y relativa a pedir la creación de un municipio independiente, por reunir las condiciones legales para ese fin.

CONSIDERANDO: que le Gobernador Político respectivo de un informe favorable a la solicitud, no obstante de que la municipalidad de Manto se opone a la creación del nuevo pueblo, por sus intereses con ello, por la falta de concurso de los vecinos de aquellas aldeas para el sostenimiento del municipio actual.

CONSIDERANDO: que el pueblo de Manto tiene suficiente número de habitantes y recursos sobrados para el sostenimiento, de todos los ramos del servicio público, pudiendo, por lo mismo, hacerse la segregación de las aldeas distantes sin perjuicio para los intereses municipales.

Thanks Jenni
agree Lisa McCarthy : Yep, ' town OF the same name". We should explain that 'Manto' is Spanish for word 'mantle', as per the poster's previous question. It would be confusing to say 'mantle rocks' from the town of the same name (the town is not called 'Mantle'.

I agree that OF is more widely used, but BY is not exactly scarce http://tiny.cc/n0lmh. Thanks Lisa. Very true!
agree Charles Davis : Another vote for "of". It's called a "ciudad" in Wikipedia: population 10,210 in 2001 ( http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manto_(Honduras) )

from the locality of the same name

Unless you're sure that Manto is a 'town', and not a city, village, settlement or one of the other conventional categories of 'places' defined by geographers and map-makers, it might be better to stick with 'locality' which is, precisely, one of those specialist terms used for places which are marked on the map but often have no or few inhabitants.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Richard Hill : Manto es un pueblo colonial, que su fundación data desde el año 1500. http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manto_(Honduras). I don't think I misunderstood, as the "asker's context" is not "general", but rather specific to the town of Manto in Olancho.

You seem not to have understood that my answer covers the 'general' case, not the specifics of Manto (which, having been there, I know full well is a 'town'). My point is that in asker's context 'localidad' translates correctly as 'locality', not 'town'.
agree Charles Davis : Nothing wrong with this, as far as I can see / True. This place actually appears to be a collection of "aldeas" and "caseríos", so it's a moot point. Perhaps "municipality" would be best.

Thanks. Re your comment above about 'ciudad', pretty well any 'localidad' with a consejo municipal (or equivalent) south of the Caribbean seems to be a self-proclaimed 'ciudad'.
