History

Before the arrival of the Spaniards, the land Valley of the Township Ebéjico was inhabited by aboriginal tribes Ebexicos and Peques both of the Nutabes tribe family. In 1595, Don Gaspar de Rodas, having defeated the natives, proceeded to Ebéjico to allot land to the victors, and to entrust the native people to captain Manuel López Bravo. Already in 1830, the village had the original name of "Community." In 1833, by order of Governor Juan de Dios Aranzazu, the parish of Ebéjico was created and so called for the indomitable tribe of the same name. Governor Aranzazu erected in the municipal district the Valley of Miraflores Community and appointed it as the seat of the new town (now Ebéjico).
