List of governors of the Province of Cartagena information
The Province of Cartagena de Indias in Colombia was founded concurrently with the city of Cartagena, Colombia in 1533 by the conquistador Pedro de Heredia, thus fulfilling his part in a contract of conquest made with King Charles V of Spain.[1] The town and province were named after Cartagena, Spain, the hometown of most of Heredia's sailors.[2]
The province became independent during the 19th century, and essentially preserved its original territorial area, although it had changed names several times.[3]
The following is a list of the governors or presidents of the Province of Cartagena,[4][5] later known as the "Republic of Cartagena".[6]
In response to the demands of the people, the Junta de Gobierno of Cartagena declared its independence from the Spanish Crown and the abolition of the Inquisition on November 11, 1811. The Junta issued an acta de independencia declaring: "the Province of Cartagena de Indias is from today, in fact and by law, a free, sovereign, and independent state."[7] Leaders of the territory when it was an independent nation are also included here.
