The Department of Trujillo (Spanish: Departamento de Trujillo) was a short-lived department of the Protectorate of Peru that existed from 1821 to 1825, when it renamed into the Department of La Libertad.
History
After General
Jose de San Martin issued a Provisional Regulation, providing for the creation of the department.[1][2][3]
The Governorate of Bracamoros supported Trujillo's independence and declared its own from the Real Audiencia of Quito on June 4, 1821. It was later incorporated into the department.[4]
The department was divided into seven provinces:[5]
| Provincia | Capital |
|---|---|
| Trujillo | Trujillo |
| Piura | San Miguel de Piura |
| Cajamarca | Cajamarca |
| Chachapoyas | San Juan de la Frontera |
| Chiclayo | Saña |
| Pataz | Pataz |
| Huamachuco | Huamachuco |
In 1825, for its contribution during the Peruvian War of Independence, it was renamed the department of La Libertad.[6]
