Noris

Noris belongs to the forested country between the Porce and Nechí rivers in northern Antioquia. The region of Anorí was inhabited by Nutabe groups including the Guamocó and Garrapato; local tradition remembers leaders named Yabur and Noría. Anorí takes its name from the latter in that tradition. The district became a centre of gold mining, and a parish was established there in 1822, as settlement expanded along the eastern side of the Central Cordillera.
