Barranquilla derives its name from the San Nicolás ravines on the banks of the Magdalena River. Thus, it was first named San Nicolás de Barranquilla. Magdalena River, the main waterway for river transport and trade from the Caribbean region to the interior of the country. In 1813, it received the name Villa de Barranquilla and its absolute independence. Manuel Rodríguez Torices, then president of the province of Cartagena, elevated it to the status of a town and granted it its flag and coat of arms on April 7th, 1813. Barranquilla received immigrants around the world, who settled there in recent years. Barranquilla is today the golden gateway to Colombia, the industrial capital of Colombia's Caribbean region, with its majestic Magdalena River. Barranquilla breathes carnival, soccer, music, culture, beauty, and tradition. A city of great personalities like Shakira, Miss Universe Paulina Vega Dieppa, and Sofía Vergara, its carnival is an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
