ANTIOQUIA
COLOMBIAN STATE OF ANTIOQUIA
In 1810 the Spanish American province of Antioquia - created in 1579 and later part of the Viceroyalty of New Granada - revolted against its Spanish rulers, proclaimed its independence and later joined the new state of Colombia. Within this state Antioquia was at first included in the Department of Cundinamarca (1821 - 1832), but later it again became a separate province, which was briefly divided into the three provinces of Antioquia, Córdoba and Medellín in 1851 - 1855. In 1856 the reconstructed province of Antioquia became a sovereign state of the Confederation - since 1861 Federation - of New Granada. __________________________________________________________________________________CHIEF EXECUTIVES

COLOMBIAN DEPARTMENT OF ANTIOQUIA
In 1886 the states were abolished and Antioquia became a Department under direct authority of the central government. (1) In 1908 - 1910 it was briefly divided into four separate departments : Antioquia, Jericó, Medellín and Sonsón. (2) (1) All that remained of the former sovereignity was the right to manage the departmental financial affairs. This right was partly curtailled in 1928 when Antioquia was forbidden to to borrow abroad without the sanction of the central government. (2) Before that, in 1905, southern parts of the department had already been detached to become part of the new Department of Caldas. __________________________________________________________________________________CHIEF ADMINISTRATORS
