Hi Pam,
Found an article about Colombo, Ceylon (Sri Lanka)
at
http://encyclopedia.farlex.com/Colombo,+Ceylon

Colombo
"Chief commercial city and seaport, and former capital, of Sri Lanka, on the west coast near the mouth of the Kelani River; population (2001 est) 642,000. It trades in the export of tea, rubber, and cacao, and its industries include iron- and steelworks, an oil refinery, and motor vehicle assembly. Colombo is the hub of the road and rail network of Sri Lanka, is served by an international airport at Katunayake, and is the main commercial centre of the island. It was succeeded as capital by nearby Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte in 1982."

Will look for more about ELDERS in CEYLON.
