History:
This territory was originally inhabited by Chango Indians who belonged to the southernmost section of the Inca Empire. It was discovered in 1536 by Juan de Saavedra and the first settlement was founded in 1544 by Pedro de Valdivia, about a decade later it was designated as the nations first port. In 1730 the city was shaken by an earthquake which leveled the city and forced its inhabitants to move to the hills. From 1815 the ports of Valparaiso and Callao, Lima served as a base for the Spanish Royal Navys Pacific Squadron. At around 1850 the city started taking shape, being built on landfill in the bay and expanding on its 43 hills. A modern port developed taking care of the demand for Chiles minerals and grains in North America. New immigrants mostly from England, France, Germany, and the United States, looking for opportunities and following Chiles economic boom settled on its hills converting the city in a melting pot and a cultural center. They contributed to the development of shipping and commerce and left a unique imprint on Valparaisos architecture. Chiles first commercial banks were created in Valparaiso as well as Latin America’s first stock exchange. The city is home to Chiles first public library was as well as South Americas first volunteer fire department. In 1827 El Mercurio de Valparaiso was founded and it remains the worlds oldest Spanish language newspaper in continuous publication. In 1906 the city was shaken by an 8.6 on the Richter scale earthquake but it was quickly rebuilt and its port expanded even further. The port served a major role in maritime transportation as an important stop over in ships journeys from the Atlantic to the Pacific through the Straight of Magellan. It showed the first signs of globalization in the late eighteenth century. The opening of the Panama Canal in 1914 created a more direct and shorter passage between both oceans which meant a slow decline of the city that was once a cosmopolitan center.
