An official account of the Indies states that in 1574 there were 200 Spanish settlements or towns ( pueblos de Españoles ) in Spanish America, some of them ranking as cities, others as villas ( i.e. boroughs or towns); 100 of these were in South America. Here is an extract from the book:— ‘The city of Popayan is 22 leagues from the city of Cali, which bounds it on the North; and 20 leagues from Almaguer, which bounds it to the South. It has 30 Spanish householders ( vecinos ), of whom 16 are encomenderos . Its district contains 32 villages or divisions of Indians, with 9000 tributary Indians, divided into 19 repartimientos , 3 of them tributary to the king, the rest to individuals.’
