Sunampe District is one of eleven districts of the province Chincha in Peru. [1]
As a town, Sunampe has existed since ancient times, spanning all stages of Peruvian history. However, it acquired district status on December 22, 1944, through Law No. 10098, passed during the administration of President Manuel Prado Ugarteche.
During the Pacific War, it was an important center of Chincha resistance against the Chilean invasion.
