History:
The first time the Spanish conquistadors saw the Aburrá Valley was in 1541, when Spanish officer Jerónimo Luis Tejelo arrived in the area on orders from Marshal Jorge Robledo, who himself would sometime later found the city of Santa Fe de Antioquia. However, after realizing there was neither gold nor silver, the Spanish lost interest in the valley and left amid the general rejection of the Yamesíes, Niquías, Nutabes, and Aburraes who, according to chronicles, inhabited the valley of what today is Medellín.
In 1616, Oidor (Spanish judge) and Visitador (Inspector) Francisco Herrera Campuzano subjugated Indians from various areas of the Province of Antioquia, brought some to the Aburrá Valley and founded a settlement called San Lorenzo de Aburrá in modern day El Poblado neighborhood. This fact, however, is not to be taken as the origins of Medellín.
