Santa Ana was founded in 1530 by Diego Vasquez de Coronado. Nowadays this charming, shady village has a population of about 6,000 inhabitants and is the best example of typical Margaritan’s present and past lives. There is an 18th century church in a plaza, many colonial houses and the monument of Francisco Estevan Gomez, a Santa Ana born hero who participated in the Matasiete hill battle.
