== Etymology ==
'''Tabio''' is a municipality and town of [[Colombia]] in the [[Departments of Colombia|department]] of [[Cundinamarca Department|Cundinamarca]]. It is located at {{convert|45|km|mi|abbr=on}} from [[Bogotá]]. The population was 20,714 at 2005. The town was officially founded April 8, 1603, by Diego Gómez de Mena, on grounds that were the property of the native [[muisca]] people who inhabited the area.
The name Tabio comes from the [[Chibcha language|Chibcha]] word ''Teib'' meaning "dent" or "hole", which refers to its geographical location, next to the mouth of the [[Río Frío, Bogotá savanna|Río Frío]] (also called Sinca).<ref name=websiteTabio/>


== History ==
The [[Muisca people|Muisca]] occupied the current location of Tabio before the Spanish conquest, and were largely devoted to agriculture. The Muisca tribe comprised two confederations of small tribes, the Hunza of the northern area, whose sovereign was called ''[[zaque]]'', and the Bacatá of the southern area, whose sovereign was the ''[[zipa]]'', and which included the territory of Tabio.


The natural hot springs in Tabio were famous among the Muisca, and they were said to have a temple there devoted to the Goddess of Waters. Under the Spanish conquest, the native Muisca were expropriated and the area was put under a colonial rule that issued the foundation of Tabio in 1603.<ref name=websiteTabio/>
