Santa Ana de Coro
Juan Martínez de Ampiés (also spelled "Ampués"; Martínez sometimes given as "Martín"; died 1533), as an officer of the Spanish army, was the first governor of Venezuela Province (1527-1529). He founded Santa Ana de Coro in July 1527. He left Venezuela after the Welsers asserted the colonial rights they had negotiated with Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor (and King of Spain), launching the German colonization of the Americas.
