After the 1494 territorial division of South America between Spain and Portugal in the Treaty of Tordesillas, the colonial administration of the continent was divided into Governorates.

Four enclaves after Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire:

Tierra Firme , Governorate of Castilla de Oro and New Andalucia (Mainland of Colombia)
The adelantado grants of Charles V prior to the establishment of the Viceroyalty of Peru .
