Colegio Nacional Abelardo Moncayo was established in Atuntaqui, capital of
the Antonio Ante Canton (est. 12 February 1938) by Ministerial Decree No. 69 of
10 December 1940. The institute is named for the writer, educationalist and
politician Abelardo Moncayo Jijón (1847-1917). Member of the Society of Jesus
from 1863 to 1871, Moncayo was one of the re-founders of the National Library,
which had been partially destroyed in 1859 by an earthquake. Moncayo was among
the perpetrators of the assassination of President García Moreno on 6 August
1875; retired for several years in his estate, Moncayo joined in 1895 the
Liberal troops. Eloy Alfaro appointed him Governor of the Imbabura Province,
and, subsequently, Chancellor of the Republic. He presided the Constituent
Assembly that named Eloy Alfaro President of the Republic. Moncayo presided in
1908, together with Eloy Alfaro, the inauguration of railway in Quito.
