National name: Sullana History of SullanaThe Chira valley has always been an important farming area. Before the Spanish invasion, ethnic groups like the Tallanes, the Mochicas, the Chimu, and finally the Incas had settled here. This region was chosen by the Spaniards to found their first city in this part of the Americas, San Miguel de Tangarara, on July 15, 1532. The Spaniards changed the native farming system and created Repartimientos and Encomiendas. Sullana was founded late in the 18th century, on July 8, 1783, by Bishop Baltazar Jaime Martinez de Companon y Bufanda and given the name of "El Principe" (The Prince).
