Overview

San José de Bachillero emerged in 1850 as a small hamlet depending on Tosagua. The village was built on plots offered by Santiago Vera Álava and Juan Marcillo.
Originally known as Catarama, the local name of a spiny plant common in the area, the village was renamed to Bachillero; at the time, it was surrounded by swamps known as "baches". The village was subsequently placed under the protection of St. Joseph, the first mass being celebrated on 19 March 1889 by José Vicente Loor.
The parish of San José de Bachillero was established on 28 May 1944 and inaugurated on 10 August 1945.
