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

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" ...
