High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rainbow City is a section of the city of Colon in the Republic of Panama. It was originally built as segregated housing for Panama Canal employees and was developed into a proper town by the Canal Zone Government. During over a century of history, Rainbow City was home to some of the Panama Canal's hardest working men and women, including respected teachers, dedicated Panama Canal workers, and admired athletes. During the French canal construction era, in the 1880s, the area occupied by Rainbow City today showed up in maps as a little settlement called Guava Ridge. By the time the United States acquired the rights to build the Canal in 1904, the area included a settlement at Folks River (called “Fox” River up to 1915), which consisted of “small, portable houses put up by the French and in bad condition,” and “24 main buildings in three rows,” between the railroad shops and the main line. There was also a settlement on the shores of Limon Bay, overlooking Telfer's Island. This area, which came to be known as Camp Bierd, included a few houses for families but mostly consisted of crowded one-story barracks for dock workers.
