Political-Administrative Division

Throughout history, the territory has had variations in its location in relation to the different political-administrative divisions, which starts from the demarcation of the herds and corrals, the first of them with a radius of two leagues and the second with just one, that is composed of 1684 and 421 caballerias respectively.

Bolivia and its history

According to archaeological studies carried out, it was possible to know of the existence of different aboriginal settlements that correspond to the agro-pottery and pre-agro-pottery cultures located in 17 sites, highlighting the sites located in La Garita, Cayo la Partición and La Rosa de los Chinos, this last the most developed. The disappearance of these cultures had to do with the process of colonization of Spain.

In the 19th century, profound agrarian transformations occurred in the territory, based on the desire for land expansionism on the part of the owners. The territory was divided into herds, economic forms implanted in accordance with the natural and physical-geographical conditions. In the main herds were the most important mills:

Santa Gertrudis (today Cunagua)
Yayabacoa
Judas Grandes
Macurije
Miraflores.

In the neocolonial period, precisely in 1917, the sugar factory was installed, which, taking advantage of tradition, was given the name of Cunagua. In that same year the entire town was founded together with the central one, from here the colonies with their Bateyes were promoted, 25 chalets were built where the chiefs, doctors, engineers, field inspectors and the head of the rural guard lived.

About the nature of Bolivia

Climate

The climate exerts an indisputable influence on the development of animal and plant life. As in the rest of the country, this municipality has a climate classified as humid savannah, according to the Copen classification, which is influenced by several factors such as the long and narrow configuration of the island, the location and geographical orientation, among others causes, which determine the behavior of climatic factors such as rainfall, humidity, temperatures, air masses and winds, all closely related to each other.

The temperatures in general are high during the year in the locality, without presenting great thermal variations between winter and summer. The prevailing winds, in the order of influence, are from the northeast, with average speeds of the order of 3.3 to 5.3 meters per second.

Relief

The local relief is predominantly flat, since it has 97% of plains in which only slight undulations appear, especially in the western part. Loma de Santa María is located on small heights made up of limestone-type sedimentary rocks in the middle of an extensive plain and close to the coast at its eastern end.

The hill of Cunagua or Sierra de Judas de la Cunagua, is the most relevant geographical feature with its highest point at 338 meters above sea level. With a surface area of 24 square kilometers, it appears covered by limestone rocks from the Neogene, outcropping in some places with marl of the same age.

Oriented in a Southwest to Northwest direction, it has an oval shape, presenting karst manifestations such as dog's tooth, microcasimbas, microgrottoes, and karst grooves, among others.
