'''Guanta''' is the capital and largest city of [[Guanta Municipality]]. Together with [[Barcelona, Venezuela|Barcelona]], [[Puerto La Cruz]] and [[Lechería, Anzoátegui|Lechería]] it forms a [[conurbation]] of around 1.2m inhabitants.
The town is named for the [[cacique]] Guantar of the [[Cumanagoto people]], the indigenous inhabitants of the area at the time of the Spanish conquest. Formally founded in 1594, it was already an indigenous settlement before this time.
