 * In 1988 it lost part of its territory when the municipalities of Pueblo Llano and Julio César Salas were declared.
 * On January 15, 1992, it was decided to transfer the Palmira Parish to the newly created Julio César Salas Municipality, thus definitively remaining with the current territory of the municipality.
