The terrain of Durania before the
Spanish conquest was inhabited by the Oporoma tribe, possibly a mixture of
Carib and
Chibcha people, though little is known about this tribe. In those times, Durania functioned as a transport location between the
Chitarero and
Motilon peoples. Modern Durania was founded on May 1, 1911 by Segundo Antonio Gonzáles and Virginia Acosta de Gonzáles. == References ==
