History of El Hatillo

JuteVilla
In the 16th century, when the Spanish colonization in the area began, El Hatillo was inhabited by indigenous tribes of Mariches, descendants of the Caribs. Cacique Tamanaco was the leader of these tribes, known for resisting the Spanish colonization. As the colonization developed, the indigenous inhabitants were killed; by order of Caracas' founder Diego de Losada, Tamanaco was also murdered.

In 1752, Don Baltasar de León García arrived to El Hatillo from Cádiz, Spain, having just completed a prison term at La Carraca, Spain, for opposing (with his father) the monopoly rules of Guipuzcoana
