ARICA (SAN MARCOS DE ARICA)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 490 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARICA (SAN MARCOS DE ARICA) , a town and port of the Chilean-governed province of Tacna, situated in 18 28' o8" S. lat. and 700 20' 46" W.
long
 . It is the port for Tacna, the
capital
  of the province, 38 m. distant, with which it is connected by rail, and is the outlet for a large and productive
mining
 
district
 .
Arica
  at one time had a
population
  of 30,000 and enjoyed much prosperity, but through civil war, earthquakes and conquest, its
population
  had dwindled to 2853 in 1895 and 2824 in 1902. The
great
 
earthquake
  of 1868, followed by a tidal wave, nearly destroyed the town and shipping.
Arica
  was captured, looted and burned by the Chileans in 188o, and in accordance with the terms of the treaty of Ancon (1883) should have been returned to Peru in 1894, but this was not done.
Late
  in 1906 the town again suffered severely from an
earthquake
 .
