La Victoria, Valle del Cauca

La Victoria is a town and municipality located in the Department of Valle del Cauca, Colombia, in the northern region.

It is located in the right side of the Cauca River, in the valley between the western and central ranges.

The town was founded on August 12, 1835 under the name of 'La Cañada' (The Ravine in English), founded very close to a creek called 'Los Micos'.

Looking for a better connection with other cities and towns, the village was moved closer to the Cauca River, where currently is located the municipal head.
