District of Villa El Salvador
The district of Villa El Salvador is one of the forty-three districts that make up the province of Lima, located in the department of the same name, in Peru. It limits to the north, with the district of San Juan de Miraflores; to the east, with the district of Villa María del Triunfo; to the south, with the district of Lurín; to the west, with the Pacific Ocean and the district of Chorrillos.
Belonging to South Lima and with an area of 35.46 km², it is the third smallest (after the districts of Santa María del Mar and San Juan de Miraflores) and the second in the fields with the highest population density (after the district of San Juan de Miraflores) and the largest population (after the district of Villa María del Triunfo) of this area of the capital in which it is located.
Origin of name
The name of the district was proposed by Monsignor Sebastian Carpio: He took the name of "Villa" for being this a populated place and distinguished from other places and that of "El Salvador" in homage to Jesus of Nazareth (remember that the majority Peruvian religion is Catholic).
History
Villa El Salvador was born as a human settlement in May 1971, when a group of settlers invaded some bristling land located in Pamplona, at that time part of San Juan de Miraflores. After several days of negotiations with the revolutionary government presided over by General Juan Velasco Alvarado, the inhabitants were relocated to some sandbanks located 25 kilometers south of Lima (Villa María del Triunfo) called at that time Pueblo Joven Villa el Savior.
This young town continued to develop and compared to the rest of Lima's districts, it had the planning of the development of its territory. Indeed, the enormous and inhospitable desert that is occupied in less than a month by one hundred thousand inhabitants, was inhabited in a planned manner, with urban zoning, with areas reserved for; housing, schools, medical posts, markets, main avenues, etc.; and with areas reserved for an industrial and productive zone. The houses, in turn, were grouped into 24 lots, organized into 16 blocks, which formed a residential group, which reserves a central communal area where the residents built an initial education center, a community building, a medical post, sports areas, and recreational. This design favored the management of a neighborhood and participatory practice from the bases, supported by the management capacity of the residents to solve the elementary problems of basic services: education, health, transportation, recreation, commerce and also at the production level. In this way, the settlers who populated the desert did so in an orderly manner.
Almost 15 years later, the Self-managed Community of Villa El Salvador ceased to be a young town and thanks to the efforts of its leaders before the Congress of the Republic, it was elevated to the category of district.
So, on June 1, 1983, by Law 23605, the district of Villa El Salvador was created, on the territory of the Self-Managed Community. The new district is segregated from the districts of Villa María del Triunfo (which loses its access to the sea) and absorbs some coastal areas of the District of Lurín.
On January 1, 1984, the first municipal administration was sworn in. During these years, there were two development plans that were achieved in quite difficult contexts. In the first case, it was an attempt to transform the desert in a planned and organized manner into an urban area with the efforts of the inhabitants and with the support of the state. The second case consisted of building a productive zone at a time when Peru was experiencing one of the most serious crises in its history accompanied by the terrorist violence that was plaguing it at that time; that way, the district was able to make the Industrial Park a reality. Villa El Salvador confronted the Senderista violence and advocated for peace with social justice. The population mobilized to condemn the violence in circumstances in which fear seemed to inevitably prevail in the population. Thus, the municipality, the citizenry, and public institutions played an important role in the defeat of the armed groups. The price that had to be paid was very high, to the point that one of its main leaders and deputy mayoress, María Elena Moyano and the councilor Rolando Galindo, were assassinated.

Sports
Football
Villa El Salvador had a team founded in the same district called Defensor Villa del Mar, which participated in the Copa Perú and in the Second Division of Peru until its disappearance in 2008.
In 2013, an agreement was reached for Deportivo Municipal, a club founded in the district of Lima, to participate in the Peruvian Second Division Tournament that year and in subsequent years. To the delight of the district, the club won the following year's tournament, granting it passage to the First Division of Peru, which led to the first time in its history that the Salvadoran district hosts first-class soccer. However, in 2018, after a series of decrees in the Peruvian soccer regulations (specifically the condition of the synthetic grass in the Salvadoran stadium), they prevented Deportivo Municipal from using said venue from that year.
For this, the Municipality of Villa El Salvador changed the synthetic grass to natural, obtaining the remodeling of the grass in 2020. However, the 2020 and 2021 League 1, both played only in the metropolitan area of Lima, requested that the teams could not play in the stadiums where they were local, so the Iván Elías hosted matches of various Peruvian clubs and without the presence of the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
