Panama City was officially founded on August 15, 1519, and within just a short amount of time, the city had become a base for exploration into Peru. The city built up its reputation for a major trade point of silver and gold back to Spain. There were previously many attempts to construct the Panama Canal between 1881 and 1894, but the waterway was finally opened in 1914 and this became a key point in trade and cargo for Panama City. Along with it, the canal brought improvements in sanitation and health from the American presence in their canal zone.
