History

 * It was founded on November 3, 1591 by the Portuguese navigator and captain João Fernandes Leão Pacheco.
 * On April 10, 1851, the territory that currently makes up the Portuguesa state became a province, with Guanare as its capital.
 * As a result of the Federal Revolution in 1866 it was decided to unite the Zamora and Portuguesa entities into one and call it the Zamora state.
 * Later the territorial division was reduced to seven states, so Portuguesa became part of the Sur de Occidente state, along with Cojedes and Zamora.
 * At the end of the 19th century, the Restoration Revolution returned the political division to the country into 20 states and, consequently, Portuguesa and Cojedes became Zamora again.
 * On August 5, 1909, the National Constitution was promulgated, which established that Venezuela would be made up of a Federal District, two Federal Territories and 20 states, one of which would be Portuguese.
 * The capital of the Portuguese state is the city of Guanare.
 * The Municipality of Guanare has a population of approximately 223,600 people.
