== History == Carabayllo was the first district to be created by decree in the [[Lima Province]] by General [[José de San Martín]] in the independence era on August 4, 1821.<ref>Alberto Tauro del Pino, ''Enciclopedia Ilustrada del Perú'', vol. XV, p. 2414.</ref> At that time the district occupied the whole [[Chillón River|Chillón]] valley north of the [[Rímac River]] up to the [[Canta Province|Canta province]]. In principle, the district was the only one in the [[Cono Norte|north]], and included the districts of: [[Ancón District|Ancón]], [[Santa Rosa District, Lima|Santa Rosa]], [[Puente Piedra District|Puente Piedra]], [[Ventanilla District|Ventanilla]], [[Comas District, Lima|Comas]], [[San Martín de Porres District|San Martín de Porres]], [[Independencia District, Lima|Independencia]], [[Los Olivos District|Los Olivos]], [[Santa Rosa de Quives District|Santa Rosa de Quives]] and part of [[Rímac District]]. Through the years the district lost most of its territory to newly created districts following the growth of economic activity and the growth of the population in the area. This process started as early as 1874 when the [[Ancón District]] was created and continued to as recent as 1961 when the [[Comas District, Lima|Comas District]] was created and as recent as 1969 when the [[Ventanilla District]] was founded in neighboring [[Callao Province]].<ref name="edgarquispepastrana"/> Carabayllo still remains the largest district in Lima with an area of 346 km2 and a population of about 200,000 (2005).<ref>{{in lang|es}} [[Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática]].
