In 1884 by a group of Antioqueños, from Carmen del Atrato, Chocó and it was officially founded in the year 1907. It belonged to Chocó until 1912, when it was annexed to Caldas through Law 31.

In 1925, the construction of the Cintó penal colony began, on the left bank of the San Juan River, which is now closed. Around it, in 1953, the town of Santa Cecilia emerged, which was declared a township that same year. By that time, the first Chocoan families had already reached this place. In 1940, the township of Villa Claret was established, a small hamlet formed northeast of the municipal seat. With these three population centers the Municipality of Pueblo Rico is created. [3]
