Castiilla de Oro's new governor, Pedro Arias…

1516 CE to 1527 CE

Castiilla de Oro's new governor, Pedro Arias de Avila, who will soon become known as "Pedrarias the Cruel," charges Balboa with treason.

Balboa is arrested, brought to the court of Pedrarias, and executed in 1517.

Pedrarias moves his capital in 1519 away from the debilitating climate and unfriendly natives of the Darien to a fishing village on the Pacific coast.

The natives call the village Panamá, meaning "plenty of fish."
