The AH Juan Pablo II was formed in 1984 during the municipal government of Barrantes (IU), when the Municipal Housing Programs were promoted, such as those of Huaycán, Laderas de Chillón and Arenal de Canto Grande. The settlers populated the settlement in 1985, under the endorsement of the municipality of Lima. They came mainly from Huancayo, Huancavelica, Ayacucho and Cuzco. The settlement was created in response to the land seizure carried out in February 1976 by some 4,700 families on the left bank of the Rimac River, near the Huascar Bridge. In its initial stage, up to 13 residential groups of approximately 80 families each were formed, and in 1980 there were a total of 21 groups.
