The conquest of Honduras began with the arrival of several expeditions sent by Hernán Cortés, in order to extend the domain of Spain on Central America. In 1525 by his orders is the town of Truxillo, which would become the more important Atlantic port and the first capital of Honduras, and the outpost to the colonization of hostile territory Olancho Valley, inside the country.
Hernando de Saavedra, Governor of Honduras, had a dispute with his counterpart in Nicaragua Pedrarias Davila on the rich gold deposits and rivers of Olancho.
After several battles between rival groups of Spanish for control of the area, was established the town of "San Jorge de Olancho". and because of the mistreatment of natives of Olancho these unexpectedly rebelled and attacked the place, destroying it completely. In this rebellion died Captain Juan de Grijalva one of the conquerors of the Aztec empire. The survivors were scattered, some in the town of "Border of Caceres" in 1526, and others went to the Valley of Aguan.
