Chronology of Catholic Dioceses:Notes on the Diocese of Coro y Barquisimeto - 1867 - 1869

The reason for the changes of name from Barquisimeto (founded 1863) to Coro y Barquisimeto (1867), and then back to Barquisimeto (1869), was that the See of the diocese was moved to Coro in 1867, and then back to Barquisimeto in 1869.

HC v. VIII, p. 141, Barquisimeten:
«Pius PP. IX d. 7 mart 1863 in Barquisimeti civ. ep.lem sedem erigit,...D. 14 aug. 1867 per S. Congr. Consist. decr. sedes ep.lis ad civ. de Coro translata (l.c. 1667-68, n. 39), d. 22 oct. 1869 per simile decr. iterum ad civicum oppidum Barquisimeti transferetur (l.c. 1869, n. 25; Pii IX acta pars I vol. 5 p. 73-76).»
