History

 * The Municipality of Valera was founded on August 25, 1811.
 * It was elevated to parish on February 15, 1820 belonging to Escuque.
 * During its first 100 years its growth was slow but important, perhaps becoming the city with the greatest commercial development in the area until a few years ago.
 * This place was welcomed by a thriving Italian immigration, which worked hard for the growth of economic and commercial activities, and who have managed to position it as a significant economic center of Trujillo.
 * The Municipality of Valera has a population of approximately 250,000 people.
