Cesar Academy of History and its collection

Valledupar, a city in Colombia, has a rich history that dates back to the pre-Columbian era. It was originally inhabited by Amerindian tribes, specifically the Chimila tribe of the Chibcha linguistic family. These tribes had developed their own societies before the arrival of the Spanish. This historical background provides a fascinating insight into the early inhabitants of the region.

Founding of Valledupar

The city of Valledupar was founded by Spanish soldiers in 1550. The location chosen for the city was near Eupari, which was one of the settlements of the Chimila tribe. This historical event marked the beginning of a new era for the region, as it transitioned from a tribal settlement to a Spanish colony.

Mid-20th Century Economic and Cultural Boom

In the mid-20th century, Valledupar experienced unprecedented economic growth, largely due to cotton production. This economic boom led to a surge in population growth and also contributed to the cultural boom of the vallenato musical genre. This period of history highlights the city's economic and cultural development.
