History

 * The port was established in the middle of the 16th century, due to its strategic location that comfortably allowed entire fleets of the Spanish navy to come ashore.
 * In 1732 construction work began on Castillo San Felipe (current Castillo Libertador) which culminated in 1741 and its function was to protect the city from possible naval attacks.
 * Puerto Cabello officially acquired the rank of city on August 5, 1811, and received the name of San Juan Bautista de Puerto Cabello.
 * In 1823, Puerto Cabello became the last bastion of the Spanish Royalist Forces that were defeated by the Liberation Army.
 * Between the end of 1902 and the beginning of 1903, the navies of the British Empire, the German Empire and the Kingdom of Italy blocked the coasts and ports of Venezuela, demanding immediate payment of the debts contracted by Venezuela to the companies of its nationals.
 * The Municipality of Puerto Cabello has a population of approximately 348,000 people.
