Its original name was <b>Nueva Segovia de Barquisimeto</b> and then it was shortened to just Barquisimeto. </p><p>This city changed locations four times between 1552 and 1563. The original settlement was near the Buría River, but moved in 1556 due to frequent floods suffered by inhabitants. The second location was in the valley of the Turbio River, where the city stayed until <a href="/wiki/Lope_de_Aguirre" title="Lope de Aguirre">Lope de Aguirre</a> burned it down in 1561. The city was rebuilt 102 km (63 mi), but in 1562 they inhabitants asked for permission to move to another site due to strong winds blowing in the place. Finally, Barquisimeto was located on the north plateau of the Turbio River in 1563. </p><p>During the country's independence, Barquisimeto joined the liberation movement and its deputy José Ángel Álamo signed the Independence Act on July 5, 1811. </p><p>In 1929, the city went through a modernization program carried out by General Juan Vicente Gomez. He fixed the streets and avenues and buildings were built, like the <a href="/wiki/Jacinto_Lara" title="Jacinto Lara">Jacinto Lara</a> Headquarters, the Government Palace and the Ayacucho Park. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Names_and_etymology">Names and etymology</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Barquisimeto&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Names and etymology"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>According to the German adventurer <a href="/wiki/Nikolaus_Federmann" title="Nikolaus Federmann">Nikolaus Federmann</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Caquet%C3%ADo" class="mw-redirect" title="Caquetío">Caquetío</a> aborigines used to call it Variquicimeto, which translates as "ash-colored river", the name with which the natives distinguished the water stream near the city.

It is considered to be one of the most important religious icons of Venezuela. Divina Pastora is the patron saint of the city of Barquisimeto and of the Venezuelan National Militia. The original image dates from 1735. Divina Pastora is celebrated in a procession on January 14 of each year, when a massive Marian procession occurs, considered to be one of the largest in the world, attracting thousands of pilgrims. </p><p>The statue is removed from its shrine and is carried on the main streets of Barquisimeto in a procession which starts at the Iglesia de la Divina Pastora in Santa Rosa until it reaches the Barquisimeto Cathedral. This procession is unlike other mass Marian celebrations in the world, where the image does not leave its temple. This procession occurs due to the devotion the people of Barquisimeto have towards it as gratitude towards saving the city from a cholera outbreak that occurred in the city in the 19th century. In 2013, 3,000,000 faithful honored the Divina Pastora. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geography">Geography</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Barquisimeto&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Geography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Este_de_Barquisimeto.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Este_de_Barquisimeto.jpg/240px-Este_de_Barquisimeto.jpg" decoding="async" width="240" height="180" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Este_de_Barquisimeto.jpg/360px-Este_de_Barquisimeto.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Este_de_Barquisimeto.jpg/480px-Este_de_Barquisimeto.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3264" data-file-height="2448" /></a><figcaption>Barquisimeto East</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Capilla_San_Miguel_vista_desde_otro_%C3%A1ngulo,_Museo_de_Barquisimeto.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Capilla_San_Miguel_vista_desde_otro_%C3%A1ngulo%2C_Museo_de_Barquisimeto.jpg/240px-Capilla_San_Miguel_vista_desde_otro_%C3%A1ngulo%2C_Museo_de_Barquisimeto.jpg" decoding="async" width="240" height="179" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Capilla_San_Miguel_vista_desde_otro_%C3%A1ngulo%2C_Museo_de_Barquisimeto.jpg/360px-Capilla_San_Miguel_vista_desde_otro_%C3%A1ngulo%2C_Museo_de_Barquisimeto.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Capilla_San_Miguel_vista_desde_otro_%C3%A1ngulo%2C_Museo_de_Barquisimeto.jpg/480px-Capilla_San_Miguel_vista_desde_otro_%C3%A1ngulo%2C_Museo_de_Barquisimeto.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2592" data-file-height="1936" /></a><figcaption>Chapel San Miguel</figcaption></figure> <p>Barquisimeto is located on the terrace of the same name, on the banks of the Turbio River, 622 metres (2,040 feet) <a href="/wiki/Above_mean_sea_level" class="mw-redirect" title="Above mean sea level">above sea level</a> and a population of 930,000 inhabitants.<sup id="cite_ref-demog-t2_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-demog-t2-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It has a location on the central western of Venezuela (363 km (226 mi) from Caracas, the country's capital city), being a point of convergence of many of the major land routes and rail, characterized also by its street order and appropriate signage due to the location of the city with a relief almost completely flat, which facilitated the distribution of the urban grid and with the streets numbered in ascending numerical order, factors that help the foreign citizen and easily locate addresses.
