History

 * Towards century XVII the sector of Ñuñoa continued with its essentially agricultural character and by means of the system of ways it had narrowed its bonds with the city of Santiago.
 * During the nineteenth century various changes and developments occurred that modified the distinctly rural nature of Ñuñoa and Macul, among which were the construction of railways, the formation of towns and the enactment of the Autonomous Community Law.
 * From 1930 Ñuñoa consolidated its character as a residential commune and, taking advantage of its excellent communications with the rest of the city, it began to house a significant number of industrial establishments.

 * From 1984 the Municipality of Macul began to function officially.
 * The commune of Macul has a population of approximately 112,000 people.
