Since 1860, the then Puerto de Cabras (today's Puerto del Rosario) has been the island's capital. It replaced Antigua, which had only been the capital temporarily since 1834. Before that, since the Spanish conquest by Jean de Béthencourt, the place was Betancuria. The name Puerto del Rosario has been used since 1956, when it was renamed from Puerto de Cabras 'Goat Harbor' to Puerto del Rosario 'Harbor of the Rosary', after the Madonna of the Rosary, the town's patron saint. The valley south of the capital is still called Barranco de Cabras today.Since 1860, the then Puerto de Cabras (today's Puerto del Rosario) has been the island's capital.
