Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or arriving (immigrating) in the country. These sources may be passenger lists, permissions to emigrate, or records of passports issued. The information in these records may include the emigrants’ names, ages, occupations, destinations, and places of origin or birthplaces. Sometimes they also show family groups. | |||

*Immigration began to Colombia in 1499 with the Conquistadors. The town of Santa Maria la Antigua del Darién, established in 1510 was one of the first settlements on mainland America. In 1533, '''Cartegena''' was founded and soon became the hub for immigration to Colombia. | *Immigration began to Colombia in 1499 with the Conquistadors.

*About 3,000 North '''Americans''' arrived in Barranquilla during the late 19th century. By 1958, American immigrants comprised 10% of all immigrants living in Colombia. There are now between 30,000-40,000 United States citizens living in Colombia. Many of whom are Colombian emigrants to the United States who chose to return to Colombia. | *About 3,000 North '''Americans''' arrived in Barranquilla during the late 19th century.

*Emigration from Colombia is one of the largest in volume from Latin America. According to the 2005 Colombian census or DANE, about 3,331,107 Colombian citizens currently permanently reside outside of Colombia. Other estimates, however, suggest that the actual number could exceed 4 million, or almost 10 percent of the country's population. | |||
*During the years 1996-2000 (peaking in 2000) so many Colombians left due to violence and the economy, that it became known as the Colombian diaspora. Many of those who moved were educated middle and upper middle-class Colombians; because of this, the Colombian diaspora can be referred to as a brain drain. However, significant numbers of poor Colombians have also been documented. | |||
*The most common destination for emigration was the '''United States'''. | |||
*In Europe, '''Spain''' has the largest Colombian community on the continent, followed by the '''Italy and United Kingdom'''. | |||
*Many Colombians are also dispersed throughout the rest of Latin America. '''Mexico, Argentina and Chile''' received political refugees in the mid-to-late 20th century, and Colombian guest workers in the early 2000s.<br> | |||
