Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHILLJIN , a city and the
capital
  of the province of Ruble, in the southern
part
  of central Chile, 35 56' S., 71 37' W., 246 M. by
rail
  S.S.W. of Santiago and about 56 m. direct (lob by
rail
 ) N.E. of Concepcion. Pop. (1895) 28,738; (1902, official estimate) 36,382. Chillan is one of the most active commercial cities of central Chile, and is surrounded by a
rich
  agricultural and grazing country. Chinn was founded by Ruiz de Gamb6a in 1594. Its present site was chosen in 1836. The
original
  site, known as Chillan Viejo, forms a suburb of the new city. The hot
sulphur
  springs of Chillan, which were discovered in 1795, are about 45 M. E.S.E. They issue from the flanks of the " Volcan Viejo," about 7000 ft. above sea-level. The highest temperature of the water issuing from these springs is a little over 135. The
principal
  volcanoes of the Chillan group are the Nevado (9528 ft.) and the Viejo. After a repose of about two centuries the Nevado de Chillan broke out in eruption early in 1861 and caused
great
  destruction. The eruption ceased in 1863, but broke out again in 1864.
