Chimbote was the site of several historic cultures, including the Moche, Wari, Recuay, Chimú, and Inca. The name is believed to come from the Muchik words “Chin” and “pot,” meaning “Closed Port.” In the early 20th century, Chimbote became a district, following significant growth in the 19th century due to its port and commercial activities. Known as the "Puerto Mayor," it became the world's largest fishing port in the mid-20th century. Today, Chimbote continues to stand out as the center of Peru's fishing and steel industries.
Trujillo was founded in 1534 by Diego de Almagro, under the name “Villa of Truxillo”. With the passing of time Trujillo would consolidate as one of the most important cities of the Peruvian viceroyalty, for being an administrative and commercial center, essential for the colonial system. During the independence period, Trujillo had a relevant role on Peru’s Independence, what gave the surname of “Ciudad Benemérita y Fidelísima a la Patria” (“Meritorious city and Faithful to the Homeland”). Besides that, it was the first city to break free from Spain. During the 19th century, and later that the Moche and Chicama valleys emerged as settlements of the sugar industry and the economy grew, new residents came to the city; mostly were european immigrants, what contributed to the development of a local esthetic, since the constructions took breathing from the neoclassical style.
