The capital is Machala. History The area was settled by the Inca, who inhabited the area at the time Spanish settlement began in 1549.

The gold was mined by the Spanish mainly in the late 16th and 17th centuries in the village of Zaruma in the Zaruma Canton. In the 18th century, the earthquake of January 1749 destroyed the mining area. A local rebellion stopped the mining until the Spanish agreed to allow the native people to benefit from the mining. Spain imported gold from the area until the area gained its independence from Spain in 1820. Philip II of Spain granted the village the title of "Villa de Sant Antonio del Zerro de Oro de Zaruma" ...
