19th century
The settlement of non-indigenous people began in 1848 when Julián Flores, Juan Millán, Tomás Rodríguez, Regino Suiva and others founded the Forty-Eight Settlement, which is the predecessor of the present Tucupita. Later, farmers and merchants continued to settle, mostly from Margarita Island and the states of Sucre and Monagas.
Before 1884, this region was part of the Department of Zea, within the State of Guayana, which was divided in 1884.
On February 27, 1884, the delimitation of the Delta Federal Territory was constitutionally established with an area of 63,667 km², formed by the districts of Manoa and Guzmán Blanco, with Pedernales as its capital.
On October 21, 1893, the entity disappeared from the federal map, after being annexed to the state of Bolivar during international tensions with the United Kingdom over the area of the Delta claimed by British Guyana.
On October 3, 1899, through the Arbitration Award of Paris and the representation of the United States based on the Monroe Doctrine, the government of Ignacio Andrade lost to the United Kingdom 23,467 km² of this region, which was annexed to British Guyana.Police
