History

It was created as a district by Law 15414 of January 29, 1965, during the first government of Fernando Belaúnde Terry. The writer Armando Rebatta Parra, states that since 1950 the pampas of Ñoco were rapidly populating with families from Chincha Alta, the districts of the Chincha ravine and Castrovirreyna, who in that place took the truck to travel to their towns in the districts. Chinchanos of Chavín, San Juan de Yanac and San Pedro de Huacarpana, as well as districts of Castrovirreyna among which are Villa de Arma, Huachos, Capillas, San Juan, Tantará, Huamatambo, Aurahuá and Chupamarca. Some residents of Chincha Alta who wanted to have their own land to build their homes, also took their lots near the Ñoco ditch, which until today divides Pueblo Nuevo with Chincha Alta. The main avenue was named after Víctor Andrés Belaunde, where the statue of San Antonio, patron saint of the district, was installed. At the end of this avenue was the landing of Chincha. Pueblo Nuevo was also growing with people from Tambo de Mora and Grocio Prado. The first families were Munayco, Torres, Magallanes, Marcos, Salé, Peña, Ferreyra, Olmos, among others. Once the houses had expanded in the areas adjacent to the Main Avenue, beyond the shooting exercise tower, in 1960 the young town of San Isidro appeared, the first settler being Pedro Huaroto Alejo, who settled in the pampón covered with clearing.

Geography

Pueblo Nuevo is a coastal district and is the most populated and densest in the province of Chincha. The writer Armando Rebatta Parra, states that the large land that Pueblo Nuevo occupies was previously called Pampas de Ñoco, a word that means hole or small hole made in the ground, used by children to play marbles; but that the people of that time mentioned it like this to this place when it was desolate where couples went to look for a place to love each other; but they were assaulted and even raped by low-life people called love vultures. The land where the city is located presents a flat topography in its entirety, since the farmers of before, had leveled it with machinery, in order to develop agriculture, a fact that occurred with irrigation, but due to the scarcity of water, they were not able to complete the washing of the salty soils to develop agriculture in all those lands. Due to its geographical characteristics, wide avenues and streets were designed to have a new city, since the traditional city of Chincha Alta had narrow streets. Its soil is characterized by being mostly clayey sand with the presence of stones and a predominance of sodium. From what used to be only Pueblo Nuevo and San Isidro, today it has expanded even more, covering land via Larán, the areas that reach Grocio Prado and the Kon Kon pampas, heading towards Topará. Currently there are many young towns as a product of urban expansion based on invasions and subdivisions by the Municipality. To the east is the last branch of the western Andean chain; To the north it limits with the Lima province of Cañete; to the west it limits with the district of Grocio Prado, and to the south it limits with Chincha Alta. In the areas of the Kon Kon and Topará pampas, there are some ditches formed by huaycos coming from the ravine.

Population

The population of the district is the product of interdistrict migrations. It is not uncommon to find Chinchanos from the Sierra de Chavín, San Juan de Yánac and San Pedro de Huacarpana within its limits, also including Huancavelicanos, Ayacuchanos, Juninenses, etc. It is the most populous district of the province.

The district of Pueblo Nuevo, has a population of 57,954 inhabitants, with an annual growth rate of 2.53%, which is based on a surface area of 199.45 km² at an altitude of 110 ms. no. m.
