El Tejero
El Tejero, Monagas, Venezuela
Description
El Tejero is a town in western Monagas state, part of the Ezequiel Zamora municipality, whose identity was born from a humble trade and forged in the heat of oil. Its founding dates back to around 1770, when an artisan devoted to making roof tiles gave the hamlet its name without realizing it. Over the course of the 20th century, El Tejero was transformed to the rhythm of the region's oil exploitation, becoming a connection point among the towns of western Monagas and an unavoidable stop for drovers, merchants and workers. That blend of artisan tradition and oil-driven momentum still defines the character of its people.
El Tejero is part of the Ezequiel Zamora municipality, in an area where oil exploitation has been the pillar of the economy for decades. According to local historical references, the population grew notably with the oil boom, and by 2013 around 14,821 inhabitants were counted in its jurisdiction (El Tejero: Historia y Personajes, "El Tejero, mi pueblo", accessed 2026). Alongside the oil activity, commerce and services sustain the town's daily life.
