The economy of Colombia is the fourth largest in Latin America as measured by gross domestic product. Colombia has experienced a historic economic boom over the last decade. In 1990, Colombia was Latin America's 5th largest economy and had a GDP per capita of only US$1,500, by 2018 it became the 4th largest in Latin America, the world's 37th largest; as of 2018 the GDP per capita has increased to over US$14,000, GDP increased from US$120 billion in 1990 to nearly US$750 billion. Poverty levels were as high as 65% in 1990, but decreased to under 30% by 2014. Petroleum is Colombia's main export, making over 45% of Colombia's exports. Manufacturing makes up nearly 12% of Colombia's exports, grows at a rate of over 10% a year. Colombia has the fastest growing information technology industry in the world and has the longest fibre optic network in Latin America. Colombia has one of the largest shipbuilding industries in the world outside Asia. Modern industries like shipbuilding, automobile, tourism and mining, grew during the 2000s and 2010s, most of Colombia's exports are still commodity-based.

Colombia is Latin America's 2nd-largest producer of domestically-made electronics and appliances only behind Mexico. Colombia had the fastest growing major economy in the western world in 2014, behind only China worldwide. Since the early 2010s, the Colombian government has shown interest in exporting modern Colombian pop culture to the world as a way of diversifying the economy and changing the image of Colombia. In the Hispanic world, Colombia is only behind Mexico in cultural exports and is a regional leader in cosmetic and beauty exports; the number of tourists in Colombia grows by over 12% every year. Colombia is projected to have over 15 million tourists by 2023; the economic history of Colombia goes back to its exploration and first settlements made by Spanish conquerors in the 17th century. During 16th century European explorers reached what is now Colombian territory as early as 1510 in Santa María Antigua del Darién. For the next couple of decades Colombia, South America in general, remained unexplored.

From 1533 to 1600, Europeans began expeditions into the interior of current Colombia. The intent of these expeditions was to conquer new lands and exploit village resources. Legends of El Dorado that reached Spaniard explorers continued to fuel exploration and raiding of Indian villages. Major conquistadors from this period were Pedro de Heredia, Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada, Sebastián de Belalcazar, Nikolaus Federmann. During the 16th and 17th centuries, the colonial settlements in Colombia served purposes of extraction of precious metals and other natural resources, slavery trade; this economic arrangement left the Colony with little room for building solid institutionality for economic development. The main non-extractive institutions emerging in this centuries were the fortified port of Cartagena and the Viceroyalty of New Granada. Cartagena developed military defenses out of necessity from having to deal with pirate attacks. A primitive form of colonial administration was organized in Santa fé de Bogotá with the Viceroyalty of New Granada under the tenure of José Solís y Folch de Cardona, who conducted a census and built roads and aqueducts.

Following the War of the Thousand Days, Colombia experienced a coffee boom that catapulted the country into the modern period, bringing the attendant benefits of transportation railroads, communications infrastructure, the first major attempts at manufacturing. However, Colombia's sound economic policies and aggressive promotion of free trade agreements in recent years have bolstered its ability to weather external shocks. Real GDP has grown more than 4% per year for the past three years, continuing a decade of strong economic performance. In 1990, the administration of President César Gaviria Trujillo initiated economic liberalism policies or "apertura economica" and this has continued since with tariff reductions, financial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, adoption of a more liberal foreign exchange rate. All sectors became open to foreign investment although agricultural products remained protected; the original idea of his Minister of Finance, Rudolf Homes, was that the country should import agricultural products in which it was not competitive, like maize, wheat and soybeans and export the ones in which it had an advantage, like fruits and flowers.

In ten years, the sector lost 7,000 km² to imports, represented in subsidized agricultural products from the United States, as a result of this policy, with a critical impact on employment in rural areas. Still, this policy makes food cheaper for the average Colombian than it would be if agricultural trade were more restricted; until 1997, Colombia had enjoyed a stable economy. The first five years of liberalization were characterized by high economic growth rates of between 4% and 5%; the Ernesto Samper administration emphasized social welfare policies which targeted Colombia's lower income population. These reforms led to higher government spending which increased the fiscal deficit and public sector debt, the financing of which required higher interest rates. An over-valued peso inherited from the previous administration was maintained; the economy slowed, by 1998 GDP growth was only 0.6%. In 1999, the country fell into its first recession since the Great Depression; the economy shrank by 4.5% with unemployment at

North County was a county of the extralegal United States Territory of Jefferson that existed from November 28, 1859, until February 28, 1861. In July 1858, gold was discovered along the South Platte River in Kansas Territory; this discovery precipitated the Pike's Peak Gold Rush. Many residents of the mining region felt disconnected from the remote territorial governments of Kansas and Nebraska, so they voted to form their own Territory of Jefferson on October 24, 1859. On November 28, the General Assembly of the Territory of Jefferson organized 12 counties: Arrappahoe County, Cheyenne County, El Paso County, Fountain County, Heele County, Jackson County, Jefferson County, Mountain County, North County, Park County, Saratoga County, St. Vrain's County; the legislation that created North County declared: That the territory comprised within the limits of what is known as the North Park, be erected into a county to be called North county. North County encompassed what is today Jackson County, Colorado.

The Jefferson Territory never received federal sanction, but on February 28, 1861, U. S. President James Buchanan signed an act organizing the Territory of Colorado. On November 1, 1861, the Colorado General Assembly organized 17 counties for the new Colorado Territory.

The Sechura language known as Sek, is an extinct language spoken in the Piura Region of Peru, near the port of Sechura. It appears to have become extinct by the beginning of the 20th century; the only documentation is that of an 1863 wordlist by Richard Spruce. Sechura is too poorly known to be definitively classified. Kaufman notes that a connection between Sechura and the Catacaoan languages is and is supported by lexical evidence. Rivet groups Sechura and Tallán together under the same Sek when he compares them to the Catacaoan languages. In comparing wordlists from Sechura and Tallán, Torero finds six cognates between the two: However, Glottolog says the data is not compelling
