The first audiencia in the Americas was established at Santo Domingo (modern Dominican Republic) in 1511 with jurisdiction over the Caribbean islands and the adjacent mainland. It was quickly suppressed due to opposition by the Spanish settlers, but was re-established permanently in 1526. As the Spanish conquest of the continent continued, more audiencias were founded in the new areas of settlement. The first mainland audiencia was the Royal Audiencia of Mexico in 1527, just six years after the fall of Tenochtitlan, which had jurisdiction over most of what is now Mexico, much of the U.S., and Central America. This audiencia was followed by the Audiencia of Panama, 1538, overseeing Central America and the littoral regions of northern South America until its abolishment in 1543. It later was reestablished with jurisdiction only over Panama proper in 1564, which functioned until 1751. In 1543 with the abolition of the first Audiencia of Panama, two audiencias were established in its place: one in Guatemala with jurisdiction over Central America and another in Lima with jurisdiction over the newly settled areas of South America, which had been gained by the conquest of Peru and surrounding regions. Venezuela, settled earlier, remained under the jurisdiction of the Audiencia of Santo Domingo until the establishment of the Viceroyalty of New Granada in the early 18th century. By the end of the 16th century six more audiencias had been established in: Guadalajara (Nueva Galicia), 1548, covering what is now northern Mexico Santa Fe de Bogotá (Nueva Granada), 1548, overseeing most of modern Colombia Charcas (Upper Peru), 1559, with jurisdiction over the Governorate of the Río de la Plata, modern Uruguay and northern Argentina. Quito, 1565, with jurisdiction over most of modern Ecuador, the Peruvian Amazon, and Jaén, Tumbes and Popayán provinces Concepcíon (Chile), 1565, but which was abolished in 1575 Manila in 1583 overseeing the Spanish East Indies. In the 17th century two new audiencias were created in: Santiago, 1609, replacing the one in Concepción Buenos Aires, which only operated from 1661 to 1672. The last colonial audiencias were created under the Bourbon kings as part of their administrative reforms, which also involved setting up new viceroyalties. The new dynasty found no need for the second Audiencia of Panama and abolished it in 1751, transferring its jurisdiction
