Chíquiza was called San Pedro de Iguaque until July 17, 2003 when the name was changed to Chíquiza.[1] The municipality is situated on the Altiplano Cundiboyacense with the urban centre at an altitude of {{convert|2900|m|ft}} and {{convert|24|km|mi}} from the department capital Tunja. Chíquiza borders Arcabuco in the north, Sora and Sáchica in the south, Villa de Leyva in the west and Motavita in the east.[1] EtymologyThe name Chíquiza comes from Chibcha and means "only" or "alone", "Chiqui" means priest.[2] Another origin is given from the word chequiza; "hairy field".[1] HistoryBefore the Spanish conquest, Chíquiza was part of the loose Muisca Confederation and ruled by a cacique who was loyal to the zaque of Hunza. The village was important in the religion of the Muisca as it was close to the sacred Lake Iguaque; the birthplace of Bachué, mother goddess of the Muisca.[1] Modern Chíquiza was founded in 1556 and became a part of Tunja until 1982. In 2003 the name was changed from San Pedro de Iguaque to Chíquiza.[1] EconomyThe economy of Chíquiza is centered around agriculture and livestock farming. Main agricultural products are maize, potatoes, peas, wheat, nabo, ibia, ruba and onions.[1] Gallery{{left|References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{es}} Official website Chíquiza {{commons category|Chíquiza}}{{Municipalities boyaca department}}{{coord|5|36|N|73|29|W|display=title|region:CO_type:city_source:GNS-enwiki}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Chiquiza}}2. ^{{es}} Etymology Chíquiza - Excelsio.net 6 : Municipalities of Boyacá Department|Populated places in the Boyacá Department|Populated places established in 1556|1556 establishments in the Spanish Empire|Muisca Confederation|Muysccubun |
