Simón Bolívar freed the area of northern South America and Panama on September 7, 1821 and this was called Gran Colombia. Venezuela and Ecuador split in 1830 and Panama was with what is now Colombia in a country called New Granada. Then it was briefly Granadine Confederation. 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.

Which country colonized Panama?

The Spaniards colonized Panama in the early-to-mid 16th century and the most commonly proposed date is 1538. (The reason the date is vague is because Panama was part of the larger Spanish colony of Nueva Granada and was thus not considered individually important.) Panama was under Spanish control for roughly 300 years before choosing to join the new country of Gran Colombia with Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador in 1821. Although these other countries broke off from Gran Colombia relatively soon after, Panama remained attached to Colombia until the beginning of the 20th century. Panama finally gained full independence in 1903 with the assistance of the United States Navy.

No, the Panama Canal was not built as part of a treaty between the US and Colombia.
