Establishment
The first establishment was done by Rodrigo Mexia Serrano on 26 of February 1586. However, this population was ephemeral. And when the oidor (judge) Luis Enrique did a visitation, in July 1600, the natives had not populated the town and the entrusted had not built the church. By act on 2 August 1600, carried out in Cucunubá, the new and actual town of Simijaca was established. It was formed by natives from Simijaca Fúquene and Nemoguá.
