History

Origin and foundation

Pomalca is one of the Lambayecan districts with a great mixture of traditions and customs of different human groups, between regional and foreign, that for more than four centuries of existence brought their own culture to this land to intertwine, formed by descendants of Ventarrón and Collús.

Stage of encomienda

Pomalca at the beginning was an encomienda that the Spanish Crown would create with the aim of controlling its new possessions in this part of the continent, and it began to entrust these lands and their inhabitants to those who participated in this conquest. Francisco Luís de Alcántara is entrusted with the lands occupied by the callancanos to make them produce wealth for him and the Spanish crown.
