The California-Vetas District was reportedly discovered in 1549 during a Spanish military action though it had already been the site of mining by the indigenous Sura people in Pre-Colombian times. Spanish colonials engaged in two open-pit operations in the district near California, San Antonio in the La Baja portion and at La Perezosa in the La Alta portion.
