Carolina was
founded in 1857 by Lorenzo Vizcarrondo. Its original name was
Trujillo Bajo. It is known that Don Gaspar Martínez donated
the land to establish the municipality, but requested that the town
be called Carolina in honor of his daughter Carolina de San Juan. |

Carolina is
also known as "La Tierra de Gigantes", because of one of
its inhabitants Don Felipe Birriel Fernández, Felipe was seven
foot, eleven inches tall. |
