Created in 1717, roughly covering the territory of modern Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela; the territory of modern Panama was annexed in 1739.
Some of the provinces making up modern Venezuela were under the authority of the Audiencia of Santo Domingo, until the creation
of the Captaincy General of Venezuela in 1777, which was largely autonomous within the Viceroyalty of New Granada. In 1819 to 1822, de facto independence from Spain was achieved, and the Republic of Gran Colombia formed. In 1830, Ecuador and Venezuela seceded from Gran Colombia. In pre-independence sources, New Granada is often simply referred to as Terra Firma (Tierra Firma). |
