The name Subachoque comes from Chibcha and means either "Work of the Sun" or "Farmfields of the front".[1]
History
In the times before the Spanish conquest, the area of Subachoque formed part of the Muisca Confederation, a loose confederation of different rulers of the Muisca. Subachoque was reigned by the zipa based in Bacatá.
Modern Subachoque was founded on March 16, 1774 by the priest Jacinto Roque Salgado. After the Spanish Crown gave the lands and allowance to Spanish families in order to colonize the area, the indigenous peoples that lived by the time in that area were relocated in another areas of Colombia or executed if they refused to be moved. Subachoque is one of the few towns in Colombia whose inhabitants are descendants mostly only from Spanish or European roots. During the iron production that took place at La pradera between 1850 and the early 1900s, the arrival of North Americans, British, French and Germans placed a genetical mark on the population of Subachoque. [1]
The Subachoque area was also the site of the Battle of Campo Amalia, also known as the Battle of Subachoque, in 1861.
