According to historical data, Cañazas was founded on September 12, 1855, as documented by the Department of Fábrega (former province of Veraguas; as documented by Ernesto Castillero Calvo in his work El Estado Federal de Panamá). It was formed by the councils of Atalaya, Calobre, Cañazas, Mesa, Montijo, Palmas, Ponuga, Río de Jesús, San Francisco and Santiago.

It should be noted that there is not only a fair event, but there are other reasons why you should visit this picturesque town. And it is there that you will find Cerro Viejo, Valle Encantado, El Chorro de los Panamaes, La Pantera agro-tourism farm, El Salto de Cañazas, located north of the Los Valles sector district, among other attractions.
