Overview

The parish of Baquerizo Moreno (277 inh., 2,300 ha) was established on 5 August 1920. The place was originally known as Tandacpatac, a name that reflects its probable Inca origin. Destroyed in 1797 by an earthquake, the settlement was rebuilt by the family of Francisco Ojeda. The wet soils and the various climatic environments that allowed growing all kinds of fruit and crops subsequently attracted several colonists. In 1886, the village welcomed several villagers from Cotaló, a parish severely damaged by the eruption of volcano Tungurahua.

The parish's namesake is Alfredo Baquerizo Moreno (1859-1951), three times President of Ecuador (1916-1920). He was nicknamed "The Patriarch of the National Literature, Music and Public Life".
