 The area between Puente and neighbouring Santa Sofía (or Guatoque) was inhabited by a major tribe called the Sorocotá , governing a major commercial centre possibly home to the region's largest agricultural market.Puente's local radio station is today called "La Voz de Sorocotá (The Voice of Sorocotá)".The town still has a market every Monday which sees locally sourced produce brought to the town from the town's plethora of surrounding farms.
