Abstract: In the international literature, it is well recognized the significant importance of historical conditioning factors in capitalist development and divergences that exist between regions or countries, once established. In this article, we trace from the times of the colony those historical factors that have conditioned the development of the Antioquia economy, through a bibliographic review of the region's economic history and contrasting with some economic development hypotheses that recognize the role of the historical conditioning. The main conclusion is that, in line with the hypotheses of Engerman and Sokoloff and of Bértola and Ocampo, the initial geographic endowments and the type of demographic composition determined the later development of this region, specifically, the existence of gold deposits and a homogeneous and relatively free population.
