The history of this community begins in the 17th century.
It began as the hacienda
"Los Patios", which developed into a small country town, which later
became a corregimiento de Villa del
Rosario and still later the 37th municipality of Norte de Santander.
According to historical records, the proprietors of the original hacienda included Juan Aranda, Carlos
Matamoros, and Reinaldo Viccini, who engaged in agriculture, principally of cacao.
