It is said that Touch was an indigenous
pre-Columbian settlement and its inhabitants paid tribute and homage to the
Lord of IRACA.The conquerors, en route to the
Eastern Plains, baptized BIG TOWN `` Touch'' at numerous of their homes, and
the large number of Indians they found there.In an
expedition commanded by General JUAN SAN MARTIN, in the year of 1536 they found
a village of Indians led by Cacique TOCAVITA and in honor of this Cacique gave
the name of TOCA.
