Early Spanish Colonial Governorates in Tierra Firme (1498–1526)

Governorates on the Spanish Main (1498–1526)

In 1508, the first colonial political and administrative subdivisions began to be made, in turn becoming the base for modern Colombia. The Kingdom of Tierra Firme was created that same year, becoming the first Spanish colonial territorial entity on the continental New World. It covered the northern coastal territories of South America and the southernmost territories of continental Central America, from the Guianas all the way to the Cabo Gracias a Dios, in modern-day Honduras and Nicaragua. This entity was created 16 years after Columbus' landing at Guanahani and 9 years after the moment Alonso de Ojeda landed at Cabo de la Vela, in the Guajira Peninsula, the northernmost point of continental South America.[2]

Before the creation fo the Viceroyalty of Peru (1526–1542)

The Real Audiencia of Santo Domingo was established by the Spanish Crown on September 14, 1526. Many of the Spanish colonial governorates and provinces that had been previously created on the Spanish Main were integrated to this audiencia and were administered from Santo Domingo until the creation of additional audiencias in Panama (1538), Bogotá (1549) and Quito (1565).

The Real Audiencia of Panama was established by the Spanish Crown on February 26, 1538. Its jurisdiction originally covered much of the Spanish territory assigned to the Catholic Monarchs by the Treaty of Tordesillas in South America, except for areas of modern-day Venezuela and eastern Colombia. It was abolished on November 20, 1542 after the creation of the Real Audiencia of Lima, which inherited the territorial jurisdiction previously assigned to the Real Audiencia of Panama.
