Toa Alta was founded during the year of 1751, under the government of Agustín Parejas. The parish was constituted under the patronage of Our Lady of the Conception and San Fernando. The name "Toa" is claimed to be the name that the Taíno Indians gave to the present river Río de la Plata. This word in the language of the Taínos also means mother and frequently was written as "Thoa". | Toa Alta was founded during the year of 1751, under the government of Agustín Parejas.
