Abstract
In 1904, the government of Rafael Reyes, divided the great Cauca in several states, this process continued until 1910 when Popayan remained located in the present-day Cauca. This signified the loss of hegemony over the old Sovereign State. The present work objective to show the way as these dominant castes did not only take advantage of the festival of the First Centennial of the Independence, 1910, to build its new identity, its relation with the past, its collective memory, but also for building a kind of adequate time to the new changeless of the 20th century, preferring to invent a glorious past that identified them like an aristocracy related to the better facts of the past, being able to leave the deep crisis, that the separation of the great Cauca carried them.The journal Memoria y Sociedad is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
