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 BerrĂ­o. 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.
