History

 * At the time of colonization, when indigenous people resisted evangelization, they were massacred, for which they were forced to emigrate from their lands, which is why the first settlers from Valle de Guanape, Carvajal municipality, arrived at the place known in Today as "The Tower".
 * The existence of "San Salvador de Cocheima" was ephemeral, since the following year it was abandoned and the Cocheima Indians who inhabited it, left for the Guanape River plains (today the town of Guanape). When it was abandoned, the members of the Teserma tribe came down from the hills and caves that border the place and occupied it, changing its name to Cangrejal.
 * This Cangrejal farmhouse lasted until the middle of the 20th century and was the one that gave the name to the current population.
