History

During colonial Venezuela, the territory of Guárico State was part of the Venezuela Province. Guárico Province was created as a province of Venezuela in 1848 by decree of President José Tadeo Monagas, and following the Federal War, Guárico State was created as a state of Venezuela in 1864. In the late nineteenth century (from 1881) it was involved in a series of re-arrangements of Venezuelan states, eventually re-emerging as an independent state in 1899. Its first capital was Calabozo (until October 1874), its second Ortiz (until 1934), when the capital was moved to San Juan de los Morros.
