In this region some of the most important civilizations of ancient Peru established themselves. Like the Paracas and the Nazca, who left a legacy that has endured the passage of time.

In 1563 the region and it's capital city of Ica fell under the rule of the Spanish conquistadors who named it ”Villa de Valverde del Valle de Ica. .” It remained a colonial city until Peru achieved its independence in the 1820s.

Tragically the city of Ica and the surrounding area suffered extensive damage during the 2007 earthquake that hit outside the coast of Peru.
