History

The jurisdiction was established on February 5, 1900 as the Apostolic Prefecture of Ucayali, on territory split off from the Diocese of Ayacucho o Huamanga and Diocese of Huánuco. On July 14, 1925, it was promoted to as an apostolic vicariate and thus entitled to a titular bishop as its ordinary; the incumbent was elevated. The Apostolic Vicariate of Ucayali was suppressed on March 2, 1956 and its territory divided between three other new created apostolic vicariates: the Apostolic Vicariate of San Ramon, the Apostolic Vicariate of Requena and the Apostolic Vicariate of Pucallpa.

An apostolic vicariate is a territorial jurisdiction of the Catholic Church under a titular bishop centered in missionary regions and countries where dioceses or parishes have not yet been established. It is essentially provisional, though it may last for a century or more. The hope is that the region will generate sufficient numbers of Catholics for the Church to create a diocese. In turn, the status of apostolic vicariate is often a promotion for a former apostolic prefecture, while either may have started out as a mission sui iuris.
