1800 (Part 3)

At the start of the 1880s, Las Penas had a population of 1,500 inhabitants. New families from San Sebastian and Cuale came to settle in the port. In the middle of the decade, on July 14, 1885, the port was opened to national maritime traffic and officially named Las Penas. On July 23rd, a Maritime Customs Office was established. The next year on October 31, 1886 the town was given official political and judicial standing when decree No. 210 was passed by the State Congress.
