History

 * During the time of the conquest a small town was formed near what is now known as San Felipe.
 * It was founded in the year 1729.
 * This town was known as "Cerritos de Cocorote".
 * Over the years, the growth of this population began to rival the Barquisimeto metropolis, for which several punitive actions were organized to keep it under control.
 * This made the inhabitants choose to "move" their town to the place it currently occupies.
 * In 1812 a strong earthquake almost destroyed the city but it was able to recover and continue growing.
 * The Municipality of San Felipe has a population of approximately 110,000 people.
