History

 * Due to the continuous tectonic phenomena of this highly seismic zone, the towns that settled in these lands suffered several accidents, which led to this area having several vestiges of towns such as those of Huarca, Queushu, Marccayoc, Etzahuain (Etsaswaain), Huansakay, Orqotunan, Jato Viejo, Collo-Jirca, Unchuscoto and others (all older than 1,500 years) and the town of Ancash (1725).
 * In the last century, the Ranrahirca flood (1962) and the disappearance of the city of Yungay (1970) stand out, when an immense amount of ice collapsed from the northern summit of the Nevado Huascarán bicorne, covering the entire city with rocks and mud.
 * Yungay Province was created as a province on 28 October 1904.
 * Yungay Province has a population of approximately 51,000 people.
