Duyure used to be called Valle de la Soledad. In the 1895 Honduran national census it was register as a municipality.[1]

In the center of Duyure stands a large Guanacaste tree which serves as a centerpiece for the town's grassy Central Park. Several large trees, from Acacia to Tamarind, can be found throughout the park. Town Hall faces Central Park from the north side of the park and is located adjacent to the town's only Pool Hall. To the east side of the park stands the Catholic church. The church is rumored to have been constructed during the 19th century, although the interior of the structure underwent renovation in 2008. Neighboring the Catholic church sits the local computer center, formally known as the "Community Center for Knowledge and Communication" (CCCC). Located to the west side of the park is the Health Center (CESAMO) and the town Kindergarten.

To date, the only available public transportation is a 1.5-hour-long bus ride to San Marcos de Colón. The bus leaves from Duyure for San Marcos de Colón at 6:00 AM and returns to Duyure from San Marcos de Colón at 3:30 PM daily.
