History
On 9 December 1985, pope John Paul II established the Apostolic Vicariate of San Vicente-Puerto Leguízamo from the Apostolic Vicariate of Florencia (now a bishopric).
Pope Benedict XVI split the vicariate in two on 21 February 2013, creating the Apostolic Vicariate of San Vicente del Caguán and the Apostolic Vicariate of Puerto Leguízamo-Solano.[1][2]
On 30 May 2019 Pope Francis elevated this Apostolic Vicariate in the rank of diocese. On 13 July 2019 the new created diocese changed province from Ibagué to Florencia
