The current territory was initially denominated "Tierradentro". On July 24,
1869 it was established as a "Corregimiento" (Co-regency). In 1877 it changed
its category to a "Distrito" (District). On June 16, 1880, it was established as
a Municipality and given the name Segovia in honor of the Spanish city of
Los Alcázares. By "Decreto 156 del 3 de Junio
de 1884" (Decree 156 of June 3, 1884) it was again
restablished as a "Distrito". On September 17, 1884 it was again
redesignated as a Municipality.

The coat of arms is described as follows (original in Spanish):
"Composed of the flags of Colombia and the Municipality of Segovia, and
inside depicting work in the gold mines and the use of agricultural
resources, the sword and spears represent the sacrifice of the heroes in the
battles of independence."
