HISTORY OF ELIAS TOWN

IN 1827 AN EARTHQUAKE OF GREAT MAGNITUDE DESTROYS THE TIMANA VILLAGE. THIS MADE THAT THE PRIEST CALLED MANUEL ELÍAS CARVAJAL DIDN’T HAVE A PLACE WHERE HE COULD CELEBRATE THE LOW MASS.

BECAUSE OF THIS EVENT THE PRIES START TO LIVE IN THE TIMANA LANDING. AT THE SAME TIME THE DOCTOR JOSÉ MARÍA GRUESSO WHO IS (PROVISOR DE LA DIOCESIS DE POPAYAN) GAVE AN ORATORY TO PRAY TO THE LORD.

THE DOCTOR CARVAJAL THE FEBRUARY 24TH 1830, REQUEST TO THE (OBISPO SALVADOR JIMENEZ Y COBOS PADILLA) TO SET UP IN THIS PLACE CALLED LAS LIMAS LANDING A VICEPARROQUIA TO MADE HONOR TO SAINT EMIGDIO.

IN 1837 THE TOWN COULD SEPARATE TO TIMANA AND WAS CALLED LAS LIMAS LANDING. THIS TOWN WAS CALLED LIKE THAT BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT OF THIS FRUIT LIMA. THEIR FIRST MAYOR WAS MIGUEL SAUCEDO.

IN THE YEAR 1953 IN SEPTEMBER 26TH (LA LEGISLATURA PROVINCIAL DE NEIVA DISPUSO EN SU ARTICULO UNICO:) THE DISTRICT THAT TODAY IS CALLED LAS LIMAS LANDING IT IS GOING TO BE CALLED ELIAS LANDING DUE TO HIS FOUNDER MANUEL ELIAS CARVAJAL.
