History of Puerto Berrio


JuteVilla
Puerto Berrio was founded in 1875 by Colombian engineer Pedro Javier Cisneros. It became a municipality in 1881.

In 1801, Alexander von Humboldt drew up an official sketch of the place then known as Great Eddy in the region of the today Puerto Berrío. Later, the Cuban engineer Francisco Javier Cisneros, constructor of the Railroads of Antioquia, selected this same place to construct a port for the department of Antioquia by the Magdalena river, and also establish it as a railroad station.
