Tolima State was one of the states of Colombia.

On July 12, 1861, after raising in arms against the constitutional government of the president Mariano Ospina RodrĂ­guez, the general Tomas Cipriano de Mosquera created the Tolima State, carved out of Cundinamarca State.

In 1863 it bordered:

  • Cauca State in the South and the West.
  • Antioquia State in the North.

    • Subdivisions

    In 1861, Mariquita Department and Neiva Department were separated from Cundinamarca State to form Tolima State.

    In 1869, the state was divided into 3 departments, each further into districts:

  • Centro Department (capital Guamo).
  • Norte Department (capital IbaguĂ©).
  • Sur Department (capital Neiva).
