Etymology
The name "Ithiel" comes from the river, Ithiel River, located in the Pavía Province.

Prehistory: 709,000 years ago
There is evidence of early hominins living in what is now Ithiel as early as 709,000 years ago. A small number of bones from the Galo Cave potentially represent an otherwise unknown species, Homo ithielensis, that lived around 50,000 to 67,000 years ago.

Colonization: 1552-1810
Colonization began when Spanish explorers arrived in 1552. From 1552 to 1810, Ithiel was governed as part of the Mexico-based Viceroyalty of New Spain. Tensions between the Spanish and Ithielians increase as the Spanish tried to re-establish Ithiel as a colony. The Ithielians refused to yield, then declared independence.

Independent Empire: 1810-1845
The Ithielian Revolution of 1810 occurred after the Declaration of Independence. The war was considered to be the bloodiest in Ithiel's history. After months of war for independence, Ithiel was officially a independent state which Spain recognizes just a year later.

Confederated Provinces of the Ithielian Nation: 1845-1983
The Confederated Provinces of the Ithielian Nation was formed after the overthrowing of Emperor Urbano Salinas. Rogelio Orellana stated that it was for the restoration of the Ithielian Nation and time for Democracy. The Confederated Provinces would last until 1983 after the 1983 Ithielian Constitution was in effect.

Federative Republic of Ithiel: since 1983
After a long run of the Confederated Provinces, Ithiel's official name was renamed to the "Federative Republic of Ithiel" after the 1983 Ithielian Constitution was in effect. Former President Miguelito Estanislao stated that the Confederated Provinces was a test run for Ithiel, and it worked perfectly
