The diocese is bordered by the Diocese of Zipaquirá to the north, the Dioceses of Engativá and Fontibón to the east, the Diocese of Girardot to the southwest, and the Diocese of La Dorada-Guaduas to the northwest.
The Diocese of Facatativá was erected on 16 March 1962 from territory of the Archdiocese of Bogotá and the Diocese of Zipaquirá. Raúl Zambrano Camader was appointed the first bishop of the diocese.
In 1971, the Bishops of Zipaquirá and Facatativá agreed to transfer the parishes of La Peña, Topaipí and San Antonio de Aguilera (a rural parish of Topaipí) back to the Diocese of Zipaquirá.[3] On 29 March 1984, the Diocese of La Dorada-Guaduas was erected, including territory ceded from the Diocese of Facatativá and two others.
