Overview

The Viceroyalty of the New Kingdom of Granada (Spanish: Virreinato del Nuevo Reino de Granada [birejˈnato ðel ˈnweβo ˈrejno ðe ɣɾaˈnaða]), also called Viceroyalty of New Granada (Virreinato de la Nueva Granada) or Viceroyalty of Santa Fe, was the name given on 27 May 1717 to the jurisdiction of the Spanish Empire in northern South America, corresponding to modern Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Venezuela.

Created in 1717 by King Felipe V, as part of a new territorial control policy, it was suspended in 1723 for financial problems. It was restored in 1739 until the independence movement suspended it again in 1810. The territory corresponding to Panama was incorporated in 1739. The provinces of Venezuela were separated from the Viceroyalty and assigned to the Captaincy General of Venezuela in 1777.
