General Information

In 1821 it became part of  Departamento del Orinoco of the Repúblic of Colombia,formed by Barinas, Apure y Guayana; when Venezuela separates from Nueva Granada, Guayana recovers its status of a Venezuelan province.

In 1856, according to the Law of Territorial Division, the province of Guayana was made up with the current Bolívar, Amazonas and Delta Amacuro states. In 1864 Guayana became one of the independent states of the United States of Venezuela. In 1879, is was one of the states of the Federation with out the terrotori of Amazonas which becam Territorio Federal Amazonas. In 1881 it was named Bolívar, divided in two sections: Guayana and Apure. Its territory was reduced with the creation of the federal territories Yuruari and El Caura (1881), Armisticio (1883) and Delta (1884). Between 1890 and 1893 it recovers these territories. In 1890 it becomes part, with the name of Guayana state, part of the twenty states in the Federation.  En 1901 it definitely takes the name of estado Bolívar and became independent.

The capital of the state, Ciudad Bolívar, was founded in 1595 under the name pf San Tomé de Guayana de Angostura. In honor of the liberator, Angostura changed it name to Ciudad Bolívar in 1846, the same as the Bolivar state. Ita was designated that name on March 29, 1901, in honor of Simón Bolívar, the Libertador .
