## 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 the pampas of Ñoco since 1950 were quickly populated 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 the 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 irrigation canal, which until today divides Pueblo Nuevo with Chincha Alta. They gave the name of Víctor Andrés Belaunde to the main avenue, where the statue of San Antonio, patron saint of the district, was installed. At the end of this avenue there was the Chincha landing. Pueblo Nuevo also grew with people from Tambo de Mora and Grocio Prado. The first families were Salé, Peña, Ferreyra, Olmos, and the Posso-Sánchez family who had possession of the land that is today San Isidro adjacent to the Amarillo farm, which served as the boundaries of the new district. Once the housing 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 pampas. covered in waste.

## Geography

Pueblo Nuevo is a coastal district and is the most populated and dense in the province of Chincha. The writer Armando Rebatta Parra states that the large lands that Pueblo Nuevo occupies were previously called Pampas de Ñoco, a word that means hole or small hole made in the ground, which children use to play with marbles; but that the people of that time mentioned this place like this when it was desolate where couples came to look for a place to love each other; but they were assaulted and even raped by people of bad living called love vultures. The land where the city is located has a completely flat topography, 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 water scarcity, they were not able to complete the washing of the salty soils to develop agriculture on 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 was previously only Pueblo Nuevo and San Isidro, today it has expanded even further, covering lands 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. Towards the East is the last branch of the western Andean chain; To the north it borders with the Lima province of Cañete; To the west it borders with the district of Grocio Prado, and to the south it borders with Chincha Alta. In the areas of the Kon Kon and Topará pampas, there are some ditches formed by huaycos coming from the ravine.
