The Chibchas are known to be one of the most developed indigenous groups in all of South America ("Background Note: Colombia," 2012). Santa Marta was founded in 1525, which was the first permanent Spanish settlement ("Background Note: Colombia," 2012). Santa Fe de Bogota was founded in 1538, and in 1717 it became the capital of the Viceroyalty of New Granada ("Background Note: Colombia," 2012).
