Its origins date from the end of the colonial era. Since the middle of the 19th century, the city has presented a moderate, but constant demographic growth, due to its agricultural production, until establishing an urban town, which would later be one of the main urban centers of the province. It is one of the most important administrative, economic, financial and commercial centers of Los Ríos. The main activities of the city are trade, agriculture and livestock.
