The name Huancayo originates from "wanka" (stone) and "yock" (the one who possesses or has). Therefore, it means "the place where the rock is." The capital of the Department of Junín, the province of Huancayo, is one of the richest in the Andes. It was formerly inhabited by the Wankas who, despite their fame as a warrior people, were dedicated to agriculture. Before being annexed by the Incas in 1460, the city was populated by the Huari. Some colonial houses in the city testify to the Spanish invasion in 1572. The Merced Church also has traces of the invasion and is the place where the Peruvian Constitution of 1839 was signed. It has a craft fair held every Sunday on Avda. de Huancavelica.
