History
Heredia
was founded in the 1570s
as Cubujuquí.
It later changed its name to Villavieja before adopting its current name
in 1763.
It is
often referred to as the "Ciudad de las Flores," but not because of
the city's flowers, as many private tourist companies describe it. At the turn
of the 19th centuary, the wealthy "Flores" family dominated political
and social life in the city. Their home is now the city's municipal museum,
located directly north of the central church.
For a brief period in the 1830s, Heredia served as the capital of Costa
Rica.
