This community was known by the name of the Burio, and because of the quality of the lands, the neighbors changed name and called “La Fortuna”. The first residents of the thirties classified the Area like one of the most dangerous. Eight of the first inhabitants mentioned got killed, among them Lupicio Quesada who died in an intent to arrive to those lands. In the year 1952 together with the Tigra, La Fortuna was declared district number seven of San Carlos. It is starting from this date when the district begins to flourish and little by little becomes one of the most important at productive level of the area.
