Tarapaca

Tarapaca was a maritime province of Peru between 1837–1883. Thereafter it became part of North Chile. Its immense deposits of nitrate of soda are a great source of wealth to the country. Its capital city was Iquique. With the creation of the Tarapacá Department in 1878 the capital was moved to the city of Tarapacá. The province was preceded by Moquegua Department, and succeeded by Antofagasta Territory of Chile.
