Its original name stems from a land donation from the Gayoso feudatory family, a descendant of the local encomendero, to the local Franciscan order. The town nucleated from a small chapel around which a modest neighbourhood developed into a rural parish. In 1767 a Franciscan Temple was erected - although the site's choir loft dates the church as early as 1561 (or possibly 1567).
