RUEDA ENCISO, José Eduardo. The Parish of Nunchia: Population Growth on the Colombian Eastern Plains after the Expulsion of the Jesuitas, 1770-1825. Historelo.rev.hist.reg.local [online]. 2013, vol.5, n.9, pp.73-102. ISSN 2145-132X.

The present article discusses aspects of the colonization process that began in the Casanare plains after the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767, as exemplified by the creation and growth of the parish of San Carlos de Nunchía. The paper begins with a narration of the primary causes and events that led to the creation and consolidation of the Nunchía Parish after 1770. Emphasis is given to the migration from the Socorro province (in central Colombia) to the Plains region and particularly to Nunchía, both before and especially after the failed ComuneroRevolt in 1781. The second part of the article describes the creation of the Estanco del Tabaco in the plains of Casanare and Meta, whose administration was established in Nunchía in December of 1790.
