History of the province

The history of the area includes coastal settlements that predate the colonial period and the later establishment of the town from which the present-day city of Cauquenes developed during the eighteenth century. The settlement formed part of the colonial policy of founding towns. On the coast, communities such as Chanco, Pelluhue, and Curanipe maintain longstanding ties to the sea and fishing activities.
