Loaded of history, this small Venezuelan state must its name to
the Cojedes river, that translates "where everything occurs". Small
and fertile territory, with a 14,800 surface of km2 and a population near the
250,000 inhabitants. It is located in the West-center of the Venezuelan
territory. By the north it limits with the states Carabobo
and Yaracuy; to the east, with the Guárico
state; to the west with the states Portuguesa and Lara,
and to the south, with the Barinas state.
In the territorial division of Venezuela of 1830, the present
Cojedes state appears in the Province of Carabobo. Later, in 1855, the Senate
and the House of Representatives decrees the division of Carabobo in two
provinces. A conserve the name and calls Cojedes, with the city of San Carlos AS
its capital, taking political-administrative physiognomy when the Constitution
of 1857 is promulgated. Only until the 28 of March of 1864, Falcon decreed
itself to its creation like state, signed by general Juan Crisóstomo.
In 1881, the Cojedes state happens to along with form the states
Portuguesa and Zamora, the South state of the West, until the 1892 constitution
when Great Zamora State is denominated. The political-territorial structure
stays intact, except for some name changes in the constitutions of 1891 and
1893, until 1899 when Cojedes returns to its configuration of state.
Nevertheless, in 1901 it loses that denomination again to integrate the Zamora
state with his districts: Anzoategui, Girardot, Pao, Ricaurte, San Carlos and
Tinaco, whereas the district Falcon is absorbed by the Carabobo state, until the
1909 constitution when its autonomy like federal entity recovers.
