History records October 30, 1577 as the date on which the delimitation of the Ciego de Ávila settlement took place. As for the origin of the toponymic, some people say that the site was surrounded by forests. Others consider that the place simply retained the last name of the first colonizer who settled in these places, Ávila, whose name is still unknown.
