- In 1547 the river that flowed northwest into Lake Tacarigua (today, Lake Valencia) was first seen by the expeditionary Juan de Villegas and the other men he commanded when they took possession of these lands. Since ancient times, the cities of the far east and the old world, were founded in the vicinity of a river. This custom spread to the New World. In this way, Nueva Valencia del Rey was founded, near Lake Tacarigua, a paradisiacal reservoir of botany, animals, and life when discovered by the conquerors, bathed by a generous river, in most of the houses and in the customs and hearts of its inhabitants. In 1814, the river had great importance because during that year, the city was besieged twice by royalist forces. These forces took the river which was the only water supply site. A Valencian heroine, María Josefa Zabaleta y Gedler, distinguished herself by risking her life, seeking water from the river to supply the patriots. In 1818, the first bridge across the river was finished. By 1848, work on an aqueduct was completed; to the surprise of many, the ravine called "La Represa", originally in Guataparo Arriba, was inadequate for the local population of the time. In 1877 a new aqueduct called "Guzmán Blanco" was built. “Guzmán Blanco” was added to the volume of the previous stream, La Represa, that of the Luvara ravine, also originated in Guataparo Arriba. In 1888 “Guzmán Blanco” was, from the same place, the flow called Cacaíto. In 1979, the Cabriales River was diverted by the Environment Ministry to Lake Valencia, which has contributed to the increase in its level by about 30 centimeters per year. (en)
