The city of Trinidad existed before a church was built. A group of people lived here who did not own any land and who did not have permanent residence. There is no exact founding date of "Santísima Trinidad de los Porongos" because the city had a very long development process. In 1904, however, it was decided that the founding date was July 18, 1804.

On December 30, 1885, Trinidad received the Ley No. 854 the status of a Ciudad (city).
