Bartolomé Gil Naranjo
Don Bartolomé Gil Naranjo was a Spanish judge who founded several settlements in the province of Mérida in what is today Venezuela in the late 16th century. His purpose was to gather the indigenous people in villages under Spanish control in part to facilitate religious indoctrination, in part to control the workforce in cultivating the appropriated lands. Gil Naranjo chose the site of the town in a level area and marked the site of the main plaza and the church, which he named after a saint. He also chose the location of the school, the street plan and the location of other plazas, in some of which the tree of justice or pillory was placed. An early source records that Gil Naranjo founded thirty three such villages, each dedicated to a particular saint. Bartolomé Gil Naranjo founded Jají in 1580 with the name San Pedro de Jají. He established the first foundation at Mucurubá on 25 March 1586, a school hosted by the Augustinian friars. He also established Mucuchíes Mucu ...

Demonym
A demonym (; ) or 'gentilic' () is a word that identifies a group of people ( inhabitants, residents, natives) in relation to a particular place. Demonyms are usually derived from the name of the place ( hamlet, village, town, city, region, province, state, country, and continent). Demonyms are used to designate all people (the general population) of a particular place, regardless of ethnic, linguistic, religious or other cultural differences that may exist within the population of that place. Examples of demonyms include ''Cochabambino'', for someone from the city of Cochabamba; Tunisian for a person from Tunisia; and '' Swahili'', for a person of the Swahili coast. Many demonyms function both endonymically and exonymically (used by the referents themselves or by outsiders); others function only in one of those ways. As a sub-field of anthroponymy, the study of demonyms is called ''demonymy'' or ''demonymics''. Since they are referring to territorially defined grou ...

Köppen Climate Classification
The Köppen climate classification divides Earth climates into five main climate groups, with each group being divided based on patterns of seasonal precipitation and temperature. The five main groups are ''A'' (tropical), ''B'' (arid), ''C'' (temperate), ''D'' (continental), and ''E'' (polar). Each group and subgroup is represented by a letter. All climates are assigned a main group (the first letter). All climates except for those in the ''E'' group are assigned a seasonal precipitation subgroup (the second letter). For example, ''Af'' indicates a tropical rainforest climate. The system assigns a temperature subgroup for all groups other than those in the ''A'' group, indicated by the third letter for climates in ''B'', ''C'', ''D'', and the second letter for climates in ''E''. Other examples include: ''Cfb'' indicating an oceanic climate with warm summers as indicated by the ending ''b.'', while ''Dwb'' indicates a semi-Monsoon continental climate, monsoonal continental climate ...

Oceanic climates can be found in both hemispheres generally between 40 and 60 degrees latitude, with subpolar versions extending to 70 degrees latitude in some coastal areas. Other varieties of climates usually classified together with these include subtropical highland climates, represented as ''Cwb'' or ''Cfb'', and subpolar oceanic or cold subtropical highland climates, represented as ''Cfc'' or ''Cwc''. Subtropical highland climates occur in some mountainous parts of the subtropics or tropics, some of which have monsoon influence, while their cold variants an ...
