Word of mouth, several stories have circulated concerning the waythe people celebrated the Barranquilla Carnival, as alwaysingenuous, funny, festive, and above all healthy, have been allowedto keep a tradition that goes back three centuries.

The Carnival of European origin were introduced to America by the Spanish and Portuguese. The history of Barranquilla have come to the conclusion that was made in Cartagena de Indias, in colonial times as slaves party, by that time appeared on the streets black with traditional instruments and special costumes, dancing and singing.
The traditional novena of La Candelaria, Cartagena de Indias, framed a magnificent dance in the eighteenth century a holiday granted to blacks brought from Africa muzzles. These parties represent the main source of Barranquilla Carnival dances
In the second half of the nineteenth century, Barranquilla increased all sectors of its economy and exploited the geographical conditions that began to set as main city in the Caribbean region."The advantage of being at the mouth of the main waterway of Colombia, the Magdalena River, the port allows for river and sea, and its location in northern Colombia and in the area circum allows economic displacement Cartagena, Mompox, Santa Marta and the Bank, and many of its inhabitants who are coming to participate in prosperity Barranquilla, Roberto xplica Castillejo in his Carnival in Northern Colombia.
Have not historically accurate data on the initial date of the first Carnival held in Barranquilla, his tradition is as remote as the first human settlements on the northern coast of Colombia.
If the Battle of Flowers is the determinant of a carnival organized, you could say that 1903 is a date that somehow marks the beginning of Carnival. However, in 1808, King Momo commanded the holidays without parades.
