Colcapirhua was founded as a municipality on 15 April 1985. It was a 27 year process which was heavily opposed by the adjacent municipality of Quillacollo.[3] It is the youngest municipality in the province of Quillacollo, the municipality was created because of the neglect and apathy of the municipal authorities of Quillacollo, who did not attend the needs of the inhabitants of this region. In ancient times the local inhabitants were characterized by the production of jars, pots and vases made of mud and clay, so that its inhabitants, pottery experts are called in Quechua "Mank'a llutas" (makers of pots). The process of creating the fifth section lasted 27 years by the fierce opposition of the Municipality of Quillacollo.

The standard was ratified by Act of March 18, 1987 in the government of Victor Paz Estenssoro. Thus the municipality but not with the territorial limits initially proposed was created.
