INTRODUCTION

This monograph is made in order that everyone knows the importance of living in a

city as Chimbote, the importance of promoting tourism and the importance of

protecting our land, our heritage.

Chimbote es una de las ciudades que ha cambiado mucho en el tiempo, y estos

cambios se originan

Today, most "Chimbotanos" do not realize how important it can become your city's

identity, precisely because that is the only way to excel at anything else. For all

people should be important to know its origins to enhance and pass on to future

generations a sense of identity with our ancestors and how they managed things

that today we can admire.

All of us must do everything possible to revive the old Chimbote, ecological

awareness, caring for parks and gardens, and create policies to protect our seas.

The sea of Chimbote led our city to global glory, for his wealth.

It would be a beautiful scene to see on Sunday morning to all people of the city on

the main square, singing the hymn of Chimbote, while the authorities raised the

flag at the sky and all chimbotanos say above: "Viva Chimbote."

The identity of our people can be achieved.

boat. CHIMBA derived from quechua language “Chimpay” cross to the opposite

shore. mid-eighteenth century fishermen of Huanchaquito were dedicated to

hunting sea lions on the islands or islets of Chimbote. Who perform this type of

work were called "chimbadores".

3. HISTORY

In 1835, when General Santa Cruz granted Chimbote's first official

acknowledgement, Chimbote was a village of fishermen with a population of no

more than 800.

In 1871, an agreement was made with Henry Meiggs to build a railroad towards the

interior of the country. Chimbote was classified as a port, even though its

population remained around 1,000. The opening of the Pan-American Highway

created easy access to Lima in the 1930s.

In 1940, Chimbote was still a small fishing port, with only 2,400 inhabitants in an

urbanized area of 80 hectares (0.80 km2; 0.31 sq mi). In 1943, the government

created the Peruvian Corporation of Santa. This entity assumed ownership of the

railroad, made improvements to the port, and began work on a hydroelectric power

station on the Río Santa (in the Cañón del Pato [Duck Canyon] in Huallanca). The

first stage of the power station was inaugurated in 1958; also that year, an iron and

steel plant was built.[nb 1] By 1943, the first companies dedicated to the extraction

of liver from the Pacific bonito fish arrived. This liver was sold for a high price

abroad due to World War II.

4. POPULATION

A large number of people migrated to Chimbote in the early 1970s. By that time,

less than 5 percent of the people from Chimbote would truly consider themselves

native; between 1960 and 1970, Chimbote's population multiplied by more than a

hundred times. In 1900, the population of the port was 1,400; after 1970, it was

170,000. As of 2005, its population was 324,398.

The influx of residents was closely bound to the creation of the Corporación

Peruana del Santa, to the start and development of the fishing industry, and to the

establishment of the iron and steel plant ("Siderperu"). Together, these multiplied

the commercial and productive activities of the port. At the beginning of 1996, as

Peruvian public companies were privatized, the Peruvian-Brazilian company

Acerco bought Siderperu.

5. ECONOMY

During the 1970s, the El Niño climate pattern, an earthquake, and overfishing

drastically affected the fishing industry, and restrictions were imposed to ensure its

survival. More than 75 percent of Peru's fishing industry is based in Chimbote.

Chimbote is the largest fishing port in Peru. Chimbote has more than 30 fish

factories. Chimbote's active commerce and its diversified industrial development

are characteristic of the city. Its population includes workers who have experience

in fishing, naval, canning, and the iron-and-steel industry.

Chimbote also has beaches that support tourism.

6. ANCHOVETA BOOM

Shortly after the fish canning industry declined, the industrialization of anchoveta

fishing peaked. This attracted people from all over Peru, due to the high wages

paid in the fishing industry at the time, fueling Chimbote's suburban growth. The

strong migratory wave toward the city increased because of the serious crisis of

the countryside in the 1960s, particularly in Ancash, Cajamarca and the northern

part of La Libertad Region. The axis of development moved from the Pima cotton,

sugarcane, and rice plantations to the large city. In addition, Chimbote was a

natural exit channel for the exports of the Santa valley, and a starting point for the

entry to the Callejón de Huaylas.

The Peruvian anchoveta boom created wealth in the city, but it soon ended due to

indiscriminate fishing that overwhelmed the bio-mass. An earthquake in 1970

damaged to the facilities of the fishing industries, causing unemployment and

impoverishment. During this period, the Diocese of Chimbote created the Social

Welfare Commission, to organize diverse popular dining places in conjunction with

Unicef. In 2004, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh raised funds for the

Chimbote Mission through the Chimbote Foundation.

7. TOURISM

Chimbote is surrounded by two natural bays, the Bay of Chimbote (or Ferrol) and

the Bay of Samanco, both with excellent harbor conditions. Chimbote forms a

conurbation with Nuevo Chimbote District to the south. Between these districts, theHumedales de Villa María, a swamp, is home to a local species of heron, along

with many species of frogs and fish. The swamp is formed by the Lacramarca

River.

To the south of the city, there are many beaches, such as Vesique, Los Chimús,

Tortugas, Caleta Colorada and el Dorado. Also located near Chimbote is the Isla

Blanca (white isle, in English), which takes its name from the white color of the

ground. Isla Blanca measures approximately 3,200 meters (10,500 ft) in length and

920 meters (3,020 ft) in width, and reaches 204 meters (669 ft) above sea level.

Located next to the city is the Cerro de la Juventud (Mountain of Youth), also

called Cerro de la Paz (Mountain of Peace). Since 1985, this tourist attraction

attracts hundreds annually. Visitors appreciate a panoramic view of Chimbote's bay

from the top of this mountain. Tourists can also visit Isla Blanca Boulevard, which

has many beautiful marble sculptures and fountains.

From Chimbote, some short tourist circuits can be taken:

* Chimbote - Casma - Sechín - Yaután

* Chimbote - Nepeña - San Jacinto - Moro -Jimbe

* Chimbote - Santa - Huallanca

Chimbote has two important celebrations during the year: Holy Week and The

Festivity of San Pedrito of Chimbote (also called Chimbote's Civic Anniversary).

The city is known for its ceviche, a popular Peruvian dish whose ingredients

include white fish, octopus, seashell, squid, crab, and red hot pepper.

8. FOLKLORE

There is a beautiful legend about the origin of Chimbote. “The Legend of Triton and

Princess Qori Shonqu”. The legend talks about the early universe, the creation of

the world, and when it was created, appeared forces of good and evil, living in

constant struggle. The supreme God burdened by the fate of his creation launched

a loud cry of rage that shook the earth to split it into continents. When the dust

settled the supreme God said, "is created most beautiful bay of this continent!"

And in that moment he formed the Bay "El Ferrol." Life began to flourish near the

beautiful sea. The princess' Qori Shonqu "used to sit by the sea to admire it. But

one day a triton led her to the sea.

The princess “Qori Shonqu” used to sit by the sea to admire it. But one day a triton

took her to sea, knowing the white island to play with pelicans. he was trying to

conquer it, but had a rival, the warrior Chimpay. Both competed for the love of the

princess through a competition in the land and sea. The sea competecia won the

triton. In the competition of land won Chimpay who had to save the Triton, because

when the newt triton touched the ground, he was very near death. The "Triton"

admitted defeat and said "my gift will be the richness of this sea that turns to

Chimbote with over the years in the first fishing port in the World"
