New Granada

New Granada was the Spanish name for the lands of present-day Colombia and Panama, after the New Kingdom of Granada founded in 1538. In 1717 it became the seat of the Viceroyalty of New Granada, separated from Peru and including Venezuela and Quito, re-established permanently in 1739. During the independence wars its patriots fought the royalists, and in 1819 the Congress of Angostura united it with Venezuela as Gran Colombia.
