El Agrado (Spanish pronunciation: [el aˈɣɾaðo]), according to oral tradition, the current territory of El Agrado, at the time of the Spanish conquest, was inhabited by the Chimbayaco, which belonged to the nation of Paez. But this can not be regarded as true as it also speaks of Yaguilgas, Yalcones and other groups belonging to the nation of Andaquíes, who lived in surrounding areas.
