The municipality is located in the uppermost part of the Bogotá River Basin; the origin of the river is within the municipality Villapinzón at an elevation of 3,400 metres (11,200 ft).

Villapinzón was named Hato Viejo for most of its history. In 1903, the name was changed to "Pinzón", honouring Próspero Pinzón Romero, commander of the army and Minister of War of Colombia under Colombian president José Manuel Marroquín. Próspero Pinzón Romero was born in Hato Viejo. A year later, it became Villapinzón.

The history of Villapinzón is relatively young; historian Ramón Correa studied the pre-Colombian history of the area and did not find evidence Villapinzón was populated before the Spanish conquest of the Muisca. Villapinzón was founded on October 14, 1776 by Francisco de Vargas Figueroa.

Economically, Villapinzón is characterized by a large tannery (curtido) industry. Additionally, agriculture and livestock farming are important.
