Completing the nineteenth century, Colombia
experienced a large-scale migration of people starring Department of Antioquia ,
a process known as historical 'colonization of Antioquia'. The increasing
violence and a deep spirit wandering caused a diaspora which resulted in the
displacement of entire families from this department to the southwest of the
country. The colonization of Antioquia was concentrated in the territories
south of the old jungle Caldas (today Risaralda and Quindio) and north of what,
until then, was the department of Cauca.
