## History

[edit]

The department was created on 31 October 1884 under the administration of the also new Tarapacá Province, both awarded to Chile under the Treaty of Ancón, along with Tacna. It was bordered to the north by the Pisagua Department, to the east by the Andes, to the south by the Antofagasta Department, and to the west by the Pacific Ocean.
