Tibú, Municipality in Norte de Santander, Colombia

The municipality of Tibú extends across lowlands at 75 meters above sea level near the Venezuelan border in northeastern Colombia.

The Colombian Petroleum Company established operations in this territory of the Barí indigenous people in 1945, marking the beginning of modern settlement.

The San Luis Bertrán Parish, established in 1952, guided the physical development of Tibú by planning streets and distributing residential lots.

The municipality maintains connections to major regional centers through an airport and national roads linking to Cúcuta, Ocaña, and El Tarra.

Petroleum extraction activities in the Catatumbo region shaped the municipal development after its formal establishment in 1977.
