Founding
Founded in Carora in 1904, El Impulso moved to Barquisimeto in 1919.[1] Founded by Federico Carmona in 1904, it was passed on to his son in 1928, and was controlled by the Carmona family.[1]

The paper ceased publication on 15 September 2014 due to the lack of printing paper and financial problems,[2][3] though it later was able to produce once again. in 2018, the newspaper released a statement explaining that the circulation of physical copies was to cease due to newsprint shortages.[4]
