History

Ciudad Kennedy formed part of the land settled by Muisca probably as far back as the 6th century BC, and its historic name in Muysccubun is Techotyna. The Spanish, through the Spanish conquest of the Muisca of 1537, utilized this area for farms and cattle ranches. The 20th century brought further transformation, with urbanization starting in the 1930s. In 1948, Bavaria opened its main brewery in Kennedy.

In 1961, an urbanization project was undertaken, financed in part by the Alianza para el Progreso (Alliance for Progress). The locality was known as Ciudad Techo until 1963, when the name was changed in honor of the assassinated John F. Kennedy, who visited Bogotá in 1961 and supported the Alliance for Progress.

Economy

The western and southern parts of the locality are developed as commercial and industrial zones, including the Bavaria brewery. There is also a location of the SENA technical school, and various shopping areas.
