Share what you know! Personal experiences with the name Dorothy: | Edit. There is the most adorable little girl in my Sunday School class called Dorothy. She's three years old and I couldn't imagine her with another name, Dorothy just seems to suit her so well. :). My Grandmother's name is Dorothy.
The first Spanish settlement in Ecuador was established in 1534 at Quito on the site of an important Incan town of the same name. Another settlement was established four years later near the river Guayas in Guayaquil.
On October 9, 1820, Guayaquil became the first city in Ecuador to gain its independence from Spain. The people were very happy about the independence and celebrated, which is now Ecuador's independence day, officially on May 24, 1822.cuador's population is ethnically diverse and the 2011 estimates put Ecuador's population at 15,007,343.
