According to a treaty of 1866, the border between Chile and Bolivia was established on the 24th parallel, but establishing an area of common interests between 23 ° and 25 ° south latitude. On January 2, 1867, the government of President Mariano Melgarejo created the Department of the Coast, divided into two provinces, La Mar, with capital in Cobija, which was also the capital of the department, and Atacama, with capital in San Pedro de Atacama
The administrative division of the department was modified on October 24, 1871, during the government of President Agustín Morales, dividing the department of the Litoral into four districts:
Coastal District of Cobija
Litoral de Mejillones District
Mineral District of Snails
District of Atacama
Eduardo Abaroa Hidalgo (San Pedro de Atacama, October 13, 1838 - Calama, March 23, 1879) was a Bolivian merchant and businessman.
After the outbreak of the War of the Pacific in 1879, which pitted his country against Chile, he voluntarily joined the Bolivian troops. During the Chilean invasion, he led civil resistance at the Battle of Topáter, where he died. Currently, he is considered one of the most important Bolivian heroes of the Pacific War and was posthumously recognized as a colonel.
