History

 * Antioquia was one of the states remaining with the same boundaries of 1857.
 * The internal division of the state changed its form and name several times, until in 1863 nine departments were finally adopted, which would eventually give rise to the subregions in which Antioquia is divided today.
 * In 1905, Santa Rosa de Osos together with the territories of the current municipalities of the Altiplano area, Entrerríos, Donmatías, Carolina del Príncipe, Gómez Plata and Guadalupe, decided to separate from the North canton, which was formed only by the municipalities of the slope area and the Altiplano began to form part of the Northeastern canton, with Santa Rosa as its capital.
