Pasca in the Chibcha language means "father's enclosure", according to Acosta Ortegón.[2]
History
Pasca in the time before the Spanish conquest was inhabited by the Muisca, organized in their Muisca Confederation. The southern Muisca territories were ruled from Muyquytá, the current capital. On April 6, 1536 conquistadors Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada and his brother started the strenuous march into the inner highlands of Colombia. With 209 men he arrived on March 12, 1537, in Guachetá. From there he led his army to conquer the villages of the Muisca on the Bogotá savanna.[1]
One of his captains, Juan de Céspedes, reached Pasca in July 1537, founding modern Pasca on July 15.[1] It was the last village of the Muisca to be conquered before heading south into the domain of the Sutagao.[2]
Economy
Main economical activities in Pasca are livestock farming and agriculture, predominantly papa criolla, other potatoes, peas, onions, bunching onions, tree tomatoes, beans, carrots, cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, corn, blackberries, coriander and the Colombian fruits gulupa and curuba.[1]
