Lima Province, Peru Genealogy

Guide to Province of Lima family history and genealogy: birth records, marriage records, death records, census records, and military records.

History

 * The province of Lima was created in 1821.
 * With the passage of time, the territory continued to be subdivided, leaving the province even in the 1980s within the departmental jurisdiction. But, since that time, the need to separate it from the department was foreseen due to the great indigenous immigration that began around 1950.
 * As it is the seat of the capital of the Republic, it has a special regime. The Metropolitan Municipality of Lima has powers of both local government and regional government. In addition, it is excluded by law from being part of any political-administrative region.
 * In 2002, when changing to the regional system, the regional functions were delegated to the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima (Constitutional Province of Lima).
 * The province of Lima has a population of approximately 8,575,000 people.
