The province of Barranca was created in the midst of the internal armed conflict in 1984, with the incorporation of five districts: Barranca, Paramonga, Pativilca, Supe and Supe Puerto. The province's capital is the city of the same name, which became one of the most important economic centers in the provinces north of Lima, along with Huacho. The growth of this coastal province was directly related to the depopulation of the highland provinces of the region. Barranca consolidated as an active commercial, agricultural and industrial center in the area.
