Die terrein is vanaf 200 n.C. bewoon, konstruksie aan die [[Akropolis]] het om 550 begin, en 'n opdaag van groter konstruksies het in die 8ste eeu verskyn. Al die konstruksie is omtrent 850 gestaak, behalwe vir 'n kort tydperk van herbewoning in die vroeë Ná-Klassiek (c. 900 – c. 1200). Quiriguá deel sy argitektoniese en beeldhoudelike stil met die nabygeleë Klassieke Tydperk-stad Copán, met wie sy geskiedenis dit nou verweef is.<ref>{{en}} {{cite book |author=Miller, Mary Ellen |year=1999 |title=Maya Art and Architecture|location=London and New York |publisher=Thames & Hudson |isbn=0-500-20327-X |oclc=41659173|pages=49}}</ref>
