On December 18, 1538, Spanish captain Pedro de Añasco founded a village in the Laboyos Valley, which was initially called Guacacallo, due to its location on a terrace of the Cálamo River.

This village played an important role in connecting travelers and merchandise between Quito and Popayán with Bogotá.

Later, the royal road was opened between Timaná and Pasto through the Páramo de las Papas, as a more direct route that would avoid going around Popayán.

That year, a few residents of the Laboyos decided to move their homes to Pitalito, a picturesque site two miles to the northeast.

Early settlers were attracted to Pitalito because of its fertility, mild climate, the abundance of water, and the ready availability of construction materials.
