Buena Fe a city in Los Ríos Province, Ecuador. Its history dates back to 1943 when settlers arrived and Medardo Rosa Espinoza Cabezas Figueroa Carrillo rented a village in what is now the Las Vegas , where they set up a shop which gave the name of Buena Fe ("Good Faith"). Over the years the name became generic, and others soon built their homes in the surrounding areas, gradually forming the village. Having reached a relative development, by decree No. 174 of October 11, 1979 Buena Fe was built as a rural parish of Quevedo Canton, to which it belonged until 1992, when a pro cantonization committee chaired by Gilberto Salinas got the Whole Standing Legislative Committees issued the decree in question, which after being signed by President Rodrigo Borja Cevallos was published in Official Gazette No. 995 of 7 August.
