CAJATAMBO

HISTORY

Although its history goes back to the ends of time; Cajatambo belongs to the handful of people born with the Republic. As before, during the legendary "with the name Tahuantinsuyo de Casha, "he had corresponded Tampu be part of the region Chinchay His Imperial and in the colonial era was part of the quartermaster of Tarma. But in the interim regulations issued Huaura (12/02/1821) with initiating the administrative and independent government policy directed by Gen. San Martín also born the first four departments of Peru: Trujillo, Tarma, La Costa and Huaylas. It then creates Huaylas department made by the parties, to be called provinces from the 1823 Constitution - de Huaylas, Huamalies, Conchucos, Huanuco and Cajatambo. But not for long, for the same constituent congress determines, from November 4 in 1823, merging with Huaylas Tarma giving rise to the department of Huanuco, whose extension comprises, in addition to Huanuco, Tarma, Cajatambo, Huaylas, Conchucos and Huamalíes. In 1825, the war ended, the department of Huanuco get-a tribute to the epic triumph of the pampa Chacamarca-the name of Junín. But ten years later, in 1835, during the short-and tragic-government of Felipe Santiago Salaverry Junín department is re-split to make way for de Huaylas with the union of the provinces of Huaylas, Cajatambo, Conchucos and Santa, while reduces to Jauja Junín, Pasco, Huanuco and Huamalies. But before long, just the Oct. 10, 1836, Cajatambo is incorporated into the department of Junin by decree signed by the president of the Peruvian Bolivian Confederation, General Andrés de Santa Cruz. Defeated the Confederacy in 1839 with the purpose of perpetuating the inglorious name of the place where Chilean and Peruvian soldiers other soldiers defeated Peru and Bolivia, the caudillo Agustin Gamarra-winner-enact the replacement of the name of the department of Ancash Huaylas . Also on 21 November that year, as a reward for their commitment, Chiquián becomes capital of the province of Cajatambo (with the title of Villa Insuperable). Took another ten years for the September 7, 1849, to be located at the center of the province and having held the rank, the government of Castilla Marshal Cajatambo resolved restore its primeval condition of capital. But soon, again, the November 31, 1851, by act of Congress, Cajatambo returns to the jurisdiction of Ancash. Then, as a Guide to Strangers, 1934 Cajatambo province consists of the following people: Amber, Chiquián, Churín, Mangas and Ocros, for its part, the law of creation of municipalities of 1857 recognizes Cajatambo districts, Mangas, Pacllón, Copa, Chiquián, Here and Cajacay, and in turn, the electoral law of 1893 specifies the 19 districts as part of its vast territory: Gorgor, Amber, Caujul, Andajes, Oyon Mangas, Pacllón, Chiquián, here Huasta, Cajacay, Huayllacayan, Ticlla, Ocros, Acas, Cars, Huancapón, Cochamarca and Cajatambo.

However, only a decade later, an October 22, 1903, starts the reverse process of political and legal history, to be created in homage to the hero of Arica, Bolognesi province by dividing Cajatambo. So they become the new province: Chiquián, here Huasta, Pacllón, Ticlla, Mangas, Ocros, Acas, Cars, and Cajacay Huayllacayán Cajatambo while the scope is limited then formed by Oyón (which in 1875 changed replacing the name of Churín) Pachangara, Cochamarca, Amber, Caujul, Andajes, Huancapón, Gorgor and cup (which comes from sharing Huayllapa sleeves to join, Pokey and Cup). Then too, by way of consolation, in 1909, by Law No 1115, the provincial capital is elevated to city status. But seven years later, on November 10, 1916, by Law No 2335, is available once again, the last move of the province of Cajatambo. The plain text of the standard only says: "The Province of Cajatambo belong in administrative, political and judicial Lima." That is, nothing says that "according to historian Nelson Manrique, was the cause true separation: the Prado family need to have a deputy from Lima. In short, whatever the reasons were, belong to the jurisdiction of the capital of the Republic freed Cajatambo not lose in 1935, Law No 8003, the district of Ambar, after the construction of the road link with that Huacho district-to the benefit of the province of Chancay. Until finally, again a result of the construction of the cart tracks network and the strengthening of mining activity in 1985, by law No24330, surge-like ribs Eve Adam Oyón province with the group six districts within the river basin Churín: Pachangara, Navan, Caujul, Cochamarca, Andajes and Oyón.

This is because the story of how after 1985, the longstanding Cajatambo-born province with the Republic, was reduced to the level of five districts (Cajatambo, Gorgor, Copa, and Manas Huancapón) to preserve since more than a place a heritage and a common destiny, a legacy of limitations while indisputable, for, in no way saying that Cajatambo no longer a big province mean that it has lost its greatness. And is that the greatness of the people must be sought not in the extent of their territories, but in its history and its culture (in those things so fleeting and enduring that keep the flavor of your meals, dances grace and charm of its rhythms, in addition to other ... stuff). So the true heritage of a people is to be found in the minds and hearts of its people. But above all, the conviction of being children of an inheritance auroral any figure or any law be changed.
