It's history stars a number of indigenous tribes that lived on the region since V b.c. The first contact between the spaniards and the people of the Valley of Aburrá happened in 1541, although due to the lack of precious minerals and the resistance from the locals, the area was initially abandoned.In 1616 Medellín was founded with the name of "Poblado de San Lorenzo".

At the Colombian department of Antioquia we find the municipality of Urrao, which in the past was occupied by catios indigenous who confronted ferociously the Spanish who wanted to conquer their land. At the end of the 18th century there was a town founded on the territory, which became an obligatory route for travellers from Antioquit to Choco, fact that allowed its development.
