The territory of what is now Boliveria was originally inhabited by indigenous peoples including the Muisca, Quimbaya, and Tairona. The Spanish arrived in 1499 and initiated a period of conquest and colonization. Independence from Spain was won in 1830, in which the fledgling country formed the United States of Boliveria. However after the 1981 Boliveria revolution the states centralized under one governing order.
