The district, founded by its first Mayor, Mr. Otakar Lukac, is found in the [Lurín River](/source/Lur%C3%ADn_River) valley. In this river, until the 1980s, a large amount of [shrimp](/source/Shrimp) could be found. The Lurín River valley is the only one of the three valleys of [Lima](/source/Lima) ([Rimac River](/source/Rimac_River) valley - [Chillón River](/source/Chill%C3%B3n_River) valley — Lurín River valley, that has not been devastated by the unregulated and unplanned urban growth of [Lima](/source/Lima).
