Montería city
Montería is the capital of the Department of Córdoba . It is also considered the most important cattle city in Colombia. Montería was founded on May 1st, 1777 by Antonio de la Torre y Miranda who moved the city from the place called Monterías to the place where the city is located today. The first name of the city was San Jerónimo de Buenavista. Some years later the city is named San Jerónimo de Montería to remember the first place where the city was founded (Monterías means place where hunters meet to hunt.)
But, the city has changed a lot from that time. Today natives and visitors can see a city that is developing so fast. People from Montería have to be so proud of the city they were born in.
