San Lorenzo de los Negros — the town the viceroy of New Spain conceded to Yanga's maroons (1609)

After a viceregal expedition failed to break them, the maroons of the mountains above Córdoba wrote to Luis de Velasco proposing terms, and the viceroy granted them a town of their own with a priest and a magistrate. The same terms bound them to hunt down future runaways and hand them back for a small payment. Read from the Jesuit chaplain's relación as Alegre printed it and from Orozco y Berra's article of 1856.
