Overview

The Parish of Julio Moreno is a subdivision of Guaranda Canton (Bolívar province). Composed of the settlements of Catanaguan and Espino, the parish is named for Dr. Julio Enrique Moreno Peñaherrera (1879-1952).
The parish was established from parts of the parishes of Santa Fe and Guanajo. Juan Elías Calero required from his brother Miguel Calero the separation from Santa Fe. They set up a commission that drafted a proposal of establishment of a new parish. The lawyer Antonio Vadillo recommended to submit the proposal to the Minister of Government, Julio Enrique Moreno Peñaherrera. The parish of Julio Moreno was established by Ministerial Agreement No. 81 of 1 February 1929, published on 1 May 1929 in the Official Register, No. 13.
