History

edit

The community of Marly was founded in 1903, when a big house named Casaquinta de Marly was sold to a doctor named Carlos Esguerra in the neighborhood of Chapinero, He transformed it into a clinic, one of first modern private clinics of the city and country, associating with Drs. Manuel M. Lobo, Manuel Cantillo, Rafael Ucrós, Luis Felipe Calderón, Miguel Rueda, Rafael Rocha, Juan David Herrera, José María Lombana Barreneche, Julio Z. Torres y Pompilio Martínez.[2]

The area where the clinic was became known as Marly, so the Mayor of Bogotá decided to formally name the barrio Marly, and it became a part of the locality number 2 of the City of Bogotá.
