Ramón Jiménez and Robredo


Ramón Jiménez y Robredo (1779 - 1851) Lieutenant Governor of the province of Costa Rica in 1819, during the reign of Ferdinand VII. He was in charge of the power due to illness and death of the Governor Juan de Dios de Ayala and Toledo and his successor Bernardo Vallarino and Targa had not yet arrived in the province. At the end of that year he handed over power to Juan Manuel de Cañas-Trujillo, appointed by the Royal Audience of Guatemala as Acting Governor.

He belonged to an aristocratic family of his native city, Carthage. He contracted nuptials with Joaquina Zamora and Coronado and was the father of Jesús Jiménez Zamora, President of the Republic from 1863 to 1866 and from 1868 to 1870. Ramón Jiménez Robredo in 1840 declared himself possessor of "two caballerias, twenty manzanas", cultivated coffee land and cocoa near the Guayabo River in Turrialba, known in history as Hacienda Guayabo and which was granted free of charge.
