Cojutepeque

      city, central El Salvador. It is located near Lake Ilopango on the Inter-American Highway (a section of the Pan-American Highway), at the northern foot of the Las Pavas Hills. Cojutepeque was a settlement for the Pipil Indians in pre-Columbian times. Founded in 1571, it was declared a town in 1787 and a city in 1846.

On August 29, when Cojutepeque celebrates the feast day of St. John, thousands of people flock there to join the festivities and trade their wares. Pop. (2005 est.) urban area, 47,500.
