Isnotú was founded by Bishop Mariano Martí on April 13, 1777.[2] Its name came from the Indigenous tribe that inhabited the area at the time of its founding, the Isnotúes.[3][4]
Isnotú is the birthplace of Blessed Doctor José Gregorio Hernández. Daily, thousands of people come there to visit the Santuario (the Sanctuary) which was built as a sign of gratitude for miraculous healings attributed to Dr. Hernández.[5]
