Liborina

Liborina is a municipality in Colombia, located in the Western subregion of the Antioquia Department. It borders the municipalities of Sabanalarga, San Andrés de Cuerquia, and San José de la Montaña to the north; San José de la Montaña and Belmira to the east; Santa Fe de Antioquia and Olaya to the south; and Buriticá to the west. Its town center is 80 kilometers via Sopetrán and 77 kilometers via Santa Fe de Antioquia (only accessible by motorcycles) from Medellín, the capital of Antioquia. The municipality covers an area of 217 square kilometers and is connected by road to the municipalities of Sabanalarga, San José de la Montaña, Belmira, Olaya, and Buriticá.

Toponymy
Liborina was named to honor the memory of former Colombian President Liborio Mejía, a hero of the independence of these lands.

Geography
The main water source is the Juan García stream, which flows through the municipality from NE to SW. In ancient times, it was called Nutabe or Tajami. There are two versions regarding its current name: the first and more likely one is in honor of the aforementioned Spanish captain, and the second is due to a criminal named Juan García who, in his final attempt to evade the authorities, jumped into the Cauca River at the stream's mouth, successfully escaping. The Juan García watershed includes other streams such as La Pava, El Volador, La Peñola, La Porquera, and Juan Barriga.

Liborina is known for its "Liborino" beans, which have given the municipality its reputation and even have a festival held in their honor every November. Nestled in the mountains, it is a hot-weather destination pleasantly tempered by the coolness of its streams and the shade of its trees.

History
The lands that now make up this municipality were inhabited by Nutabe and Tahamí communities at the time of the conquest, who fiercely defended themselves against Spanish invaders.

After the arrival of the Iberians and the defeat of the indigenous people, nothing of major historical significance occurred there. It is known that around 1541, Jorge Robledo passed through the region with his fellow conquerors but continued on.

The lands of Liborina were granted to Francisco López de Rue in 1582, who later sold them to Francisco Arce, who in turn sold them to a Spanish captain named Juan García de Ordaz y Mancilla in 1628. Some of the areas in this jurisdiction still bear the name Juan García.

Liborina was founded on March 7, 1832, and on September 25 of the same year, the procedures for the creation of the parish and its separation from Sacaojal were carried out. It was established as a municipality in 1833, when the then governor of Antioquia, Juan de Dios Aranzazu, ordered the creation of the municipality in the lands of present-day Liborina.

Don Vicente Londoño, one of the municipality's founders, was the first mayor and commissioner, contributing his own economic resources to the construction of houses and the market fair. The first priest was Father Manuel Tirado Villa.

La Unión, Antioquia

La Unión is a municipality in Colombia, located in the Eastern subregion of the department of Antioquia. It is bordered to the north by the municipalities of La Ceja and El Carmen de Viboral, to the east by El Carmen de Viboral, to the south by the municipality of Abejorral, and to the west by the municipality of La Ceja. Its capital is 57 kilometers away from Medellín, the capital of the department of Antioquia. The municipality covers an area of 198 square kilometers.

History
La Unión emerged as one of the districts in the eastern region of Antioquia as a result of the spontaneous colonization of this central-eastern area of Antioquia. Other districts such as Abejorral, La Ceja, and Sonsón emerged in the same way, all during the 18th century.

The year 1778 is considered the official founding year of this locality, as it was then that the founders established the first hamlet on their own lands. Initially, it was baptized as Vallejuelo.

In 1877, the government of Antioquia created the district of La Unión, comprising fractions of land from the localities of La Ceja and El Carmen de Viboral. It would later lose this category but, in 1886, there was a growing opinion among the inhabitants and several influential figures from the surrounding areas, in favor of the district's existence, especially as it was part of the shortest route to the departments of Tolima and Cundinamarca.

It was not until 1911, along with other jurisdictions, that the municipality of La Unión was created again.

LaMia flight 2933
The municipality is sadly known for the air disaster on November 28, 2016, when LaMia flight 2933 crashed in this municipality, resulting in 71 fatalities and 6 injuries. The flight came from Viru Viru International Airport (Santa Cruz de la Sierra) and was heading to José María Córdova International Airport (Rionegro). It was carrying the Brazilian football team Chapecoense, which was on its way to play the first match of the 2016 Copa Sudamericana final against Atlético Nacional. The accident occurred in La Unión, in the Pantalio area, in the northwest of the municipality; the area consists of hills and hillocks, on one of which (named Cerro Gordo), the tragedy occurred. The crash site would later be named Cerro Chapecoense, in honor of the victims, by municipal agreement.

Climate
La Unión has a relatively cold subtropical highland climate (Cfb). It has heavy rainfall year round.

Geography
The locality is part of the Altiplano zone and is located in the highest part of the south of the San Nicolás Valley. The municipality has a complex mountain system, allowing it to have several thermal floors: of its total extension of 198 km², 136 km² comprise a cold climate (including the north, east, and south zones of the locality), and the remaining 62 km² (western area -El Guarango-) to a temperate climate. This allows for the cultivation of high Andean crops such as potatoes, uchuva, and lulo, to other temperate ones like coffee (to a lesser extent) and plantains. Another important geographic-geological feature is the maximum heights of 3050 m.a.s.l. at Cerro San Miguel (San Miguel Santa Cruz area) and 2737 m.a.s.l. at Morro Peñas (a prominence of the Antioquian batholith) located in the Vallejuelito-Peñas area (which is visible from much of the territory). The northern area is situated on a sedimentary plateau, rich in kaolin deposits; in contrast, the south is characterized by its rugged topography with volcanic soils, marking the beginning of the Sonsón Páramo system.

Regarding hydrography, the municipality is irrigated by numerous waterfalls and streams that are part of the Buey river basin, with its main tributaries, the Piedras river (crossing the locality from north to south, eastward forming a canyon, and born in the vicinity of the urban area), and the San Miguel river (originating near Mesopotamia); the Buey river, in turn, is a tributary of the Arma river, which finally flows into the Cauca river from its eastern slope.

It is connected by paved road to the city of Medellín and the municipality of La Ceja, through the Chuscalito area, thus being 57 km away from the departmental capital (approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes by car). It is also connected by paved road to the municipality of Sonsón, and through it to Argelia and Nariño. It has unpaved roads to El Carmen de Viboral and Abejorral. With Mesopotamia, it is connected by two roads, one paved (road to Sonsón) and the other unpaved (Chalarca road).

Economy
The economy of La Unión has traditionally revolved around potato cultivation and dairy farming. Currently, it has a production level of 360 tons of tuber per week and an area planted of approximately 14 square kilometers.

Main economic sectors:

 * Agriculture: potatoes, corn, beans, vegetables, floriculture, strawberries, uchuva, Andean blackberry, avocado
 * Livestock: dairy and meat
 * Mining (non-metallic): talc, kaolin, and clay
 * Fish farming
 * Dairy products

Notable people
Among the most recognized personalities of the municipality is Felix María Restrepo Londoño (known as "El Tuso"), a thinker and philosopher who embodied the liberal and intellectual thought of the 20th century within this territory. During his youth (during his formative stay in Bogotá), he was in contact with important liberal leaders such as Rafael Uribe Uribe, who greatly influenced his thinking and leadership within the locality. Since 2003, what was once the Francisco de Paula Santander boys' school became, along with the Marie Poussepin girls' school, the current Félix María Restrepo Londoño Educational Institution, named in honor of this character.

The political life of the municipality has revolved around liberalism and the figure of Rafael Uribe Uribe, who, despite not being native to the locality, during his command of the liberal armies in the Thousand Days' War, had in his ranks the participation of inhabitants of La Unión; such is the importance of this leader (in shaping the liberal identity of La Unión), that a bronze bust was erected in his honor in the main park.
