The country's government reorganized under the name The United States of Colombia in 1863. The country changed again in 1886 to Republic of Colombia. In 1903, Panama broke free.
Colombia
The region was settled by the Spanish in the 16th Century but broke away 1821. Panama joined a union with Venezuela and Ecuador called the Republic of Gran Colombia. This was dissolved in 1831. Panama ceded from Colombia in 1903 allowing the Panama Canal to be built between 1904 and 1914 by the US Corps of Engineers and others. The Canal transferred from the US to Panama by the end of the 20th Century
Panama was territory of Spain until November 28, 1821, then it joined the country of Gran Colombia, which was compromised of the modern countries of Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, and of of course Panama. Panama became independent from Gran Colombia on November 3, 1903 and is currently an independent Republic.

November 3, 1903
On 3 November 1903, Panama broke off from Colombia.
The Spanish arrived there in 1499 and created the Viceroyalty of New Granada (comprising modern-day Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, the northwest region of Brazil and Panama) with its capital in Bogota. Independence from Spain was won in 1819, but by 1830 'Gran Colombia' had collapsed with the secession of Venezuela and Ecuador. What is now Colombia and Panama emerged as the Republic of New Granada. The new nation experimented with federalism as the Granadine Confederation in 1858, and then the United States of Colombia in 1863, before the Republic of Colombia was finally declared in 1886. Panama split from the union in 1903 because of the pressure from the United States over the building of the Panama Canal.
