The Pueblo Nuevo district is one of the eleven districts that make up the province of Chincha in the department of Ica, under the administration of the regional government of Ica.
It was created as a district by Law 15414 of January 29, 1965, during the first government of Fernando Belaúnde Terry. The writer Armando Rebatta Parra, states that the pampas of Ñoco since 1950 were quickly populated with families from Chincha Alta, the districts of the Chincha ravine and Castrovirreyna, who in that place took the truck to travel to their towns in the districts. Chinchanos of Chavín, San Juan de Yanac and San Pedro de Huacarpana, as well as the districts of Castrovirreyna, among which are Villa de Arma, Huachos, Capillas, San Juan, Tantará, Huamatambo, Aurahuá and Chupamarca. Some residents of Chincha Alta who wanted to have their own land to build their homes, also took their lots near the Ñoco irrigation canal, which until today divides Pueblo Nuevo with Chincha Alta. They gave the name of Víctor Andrés Belaunde to the main avenue, where the statue of San Antonio, patron saint of the district, was installed. At the end of this avenue there was the Chincha landing. Pueblo Nuevo also grew with people from Tambo de Mora and Grocio Prado. The first families were Salé, Peña, Ferreyra, Olmos, and the Posso-Sánchez family who had possession of the land that is today San Isidro adjacent to the Amarillo farm, which served as the boundaries of the new district. Once the housing had expanded in the areas adjacent to the Main Avenue, beyond the shooting exercise tower, in 1960 the young town of San Isidro appeared, the first settler being Pedro Huaroto Alejo, who settled in the pampas. covered in waste.
