New Catalonia, Spanish governorate in northeastern Venezuela.
The New Catalonia governorate extended across the eastern regions of modern-day Venezuela, encompassing territories between the Caribbean Sea and the Orinoco River.
Spain established New Catalonia as an administrative division in 1635, marking the expansion of Spanish colonial control in northern South America.
The region incorporated Spanish administrative systems while maintaining connections with indigenous communities through trade and religious missions.
The governorate served as a strategic point for Spanish maritime routes between the Caribbean islands and mainland South American territories.
New Catalonia represented an extension of Spanish Catalonian influence in the Americas during the 17th century colonial period.
