History
On October 10, 1836, Marshal
The department was dissolved on February 28, 1839, when Agustín Gamarra changed its name from "Huaylas" to "Ancachs" (a name that legally remains, but is now written "Áncash") to commemorate the Chilean–Peruvian victory against the Confederate Army at the battle of Pan de Azúcar, on January 20, 1839.[3] The date of February 28 currently serves to celebrate the "political creation" of Ancash (i.e. its renaming from "Huaylas").
