It was later reestablished in 1835 and incorporated as a department of the [Peru–Bolivian Confederation](/source/Peru%E2%80%93Bolivian_Confederation), being dissolved in 1839 along with the state. ## History On February 12, 1821, by order of the so-called *[Reglamento Provisional](/source/Reglamento_Provisional)* in [Huaura](/source/Huaura), the department was created, integrated by the provinces of [Huaylas](/source/Huaylas_Province), [Cajatambo](/source/Cajatambo_Province), [Conchucos](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Conchucos_Province&action=edit&redlink=1) [[es](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provincia_de_Conchucos)], [Huamalíes](/source/Huamalies_Province) and [Huánuco](/source/Hu%C3%A1nuco_Province) and with its capital in [Huarás](/source/Huaraz). Its first president was [Toribio de Luzuriaga](/source/Toribio_de_Luzuriaga), with governor of Huaraz, Juan de Mata Arnao y García, ceding his office to him three months later.[1] The political foundation of this demarcation was executed by the [José de San Martín](/source/Jos%C3%A9_de_San_Mart%C3%ADn).[2] However, on November 4, 1823, the government of [José Bernardo de Tagle](/source/Jos%C3%A9_Bernardo_de_Tagle) decided to unite the territories of the departments of Huaylas and [Tarma](/source/Department_of_Tarma), giving it the name "[department of Huánuco](/source/Department_of_Hu%C3%A1nuco_(1823%E2%80%931825))."[3] Santa reintegrates into [Lima](/source/Department_of_Lima).[4] On September 13, 1825, the department of Huánuco changed its name to that of [Junín](/source/Department_of_Jun%C3%ADn), by decree signed by [Hipólito Unanue](/source/Hip%C3%B3lito_Unanue), Juan Salazar and [José de Larrea](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jos%C3%A9_de_Larrea_y_Loredo&action=edit&redlink=1) [[es](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_de_Larrea_y_Loredo)], to honor [Simón Bolívar](/source/Sim%C3%B3n_Bol%C3%ADvar)'s [victory](/source/Battle_of_Jun%C3%ADn) over the [Spanish Army](/source/Spanish_Army).[3] It included the provinces of Cajatambo, Lower Conchucos (Piscobamba), Upper Conchucos (Huari), Huamalies, Huaylas, Pasco, Jauja and Tarma. In 1835, years after its dissolution, it was again established by president [Felipe Santiago Salaverry](/source/Felipe_Santiago_Salaverry), excluding the province of Huari.[5] After the establishment of the [Peru–Bolivian Confederation](/source/Peru%E2%80%93Bolivian_Confederation), it was [incorporated](/source/Department_of_Huaylas_(Peru%E2%80%93Bolivian_Confederation)) into the new state until its dissolution in 1839, when it became the [department of Ancash](/source/Department_of_Ancash).[6] Since 1910, local historians have advocated the return of the name *Huaylas*, the original name given to Ancash by San Martín.[7] ## See also - [Intendancy of Tarma](/source/Intendancy_of_Tarma) - [Department of Ancash](/source/Department_of_Ancash) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["29 de noviembre: conmemoramos 200 años de independencia en Huaraz"](https://bicentenario.gob.pe/bicentenario-huaraz/). *[Bicentenario del Perú](/source/Bicentennial_of_the_Independence_of_Peru)*. 2020-11-28. 1. **[^](#cite_ref-2)** ["202 AÑOS de la promulgación del REGLAMENTO PROVISIONAL expedida por GRAL.
