History

Those traveling by the Panamerican highway between Talara and Sullana may clearly observe a hill that appears as if the top had been cut off. It is said that due to the flooding of the Chira river, the Zapotoleños had to leave in search of safer regions, locating themselves in the elevated region known as "Cerro Mocho." Other went to Ventarrones, Monte Lima, or Alto Grande. The Zapotoleños, needing materials to construct their huts, began to cut stone blocks from the hill (cerro) until they left it cut (mocho). The older residents will say the owners of the hacienda on which the hill was located ordered their peons to level the peak to construct the houses of their haciendas on the hill, but later abandoned the task because it was too difficult. In the end the landowners constructed their houses on the lower part of the hill and still be seen, even in ruins.

Initially the jurisdiction of the area was left to the district of Tamarindo in the province of Paita. Due to the difficulties of communication with Peita, the residents requested to become administratively part of Sullana. The project of the creation of a district began on 16 October 1963 when the project signed by the deputies, Luis Carnero Checa, and Juan Aldana Gonzáles of Piura, and Felipe García Figallo of Sullana. On 10 September 1965 Law 15611 created the district, with the capital at San Jacinto, dismembering the district from Paita. On 25 October 1965, the governor of Tamarindo, Santos Oblea ended his term as municipal agent, since Sullana had chosen Jorge Hougthon Aguirre as municipal agent. However, under local law, Santos Oblea continued to exercise the role of municipal agent until 31 December 1966, and from 1 January 1967 he was installed as the first municipal governor, with Ignacio Coronado Pena as mayor.
