Modern Subachoque was founded on March 16, 1774 by the priest Jacinto Roque Salgado. After the Spanish Crown gave the lands and allowance to Spanish families in order to colonize the area, the indigenous peoples that lived by the time in that area were relocated in another areas of Colombia or executed if they refused to be moved. Subachoque is one of the few towns in Colombia whose inhabitants are descendants mostly only from Spanish or European roots. During the iron production that took place at La pradera between 1850 and the early 1900s, the arrival of North Americans, British, French and Germans placed a genetical mark on the population of Subachoque. <ref name=websiteSubachoque/>

Subachoque is one of the few towns in Colombia whose inhabitants are descendants mostly only from Spanish or European roots. During the iron production that took place at La pradera between 1850 and the early 1900s, the arrival of North Americans, British, French and Germans placed a genetical mark on the population of Subachoque.
