The Department of the Coast (Spanish: Departamento de la Costa) was a short-lived department of the Protectorate of Peru that existed from 1821 to 1823. The department's lone leader, who held the title of President, was Vicente Dupuy [es].

History

On February 12, 1821, during the Peruvian War of Independence, the Reglamento Provisional was issued by José de San Martín, serving as the country's first legal document and constitution. The document divided the territory occupied by the Liberating Army into four departments, which included that of the Coast, north of Lima. On August 4 of the same year, a Provisional Statute was issued by San Martín, which formally established the Department of Lima.

The department was represented at the first Congress of Peru in 1822 by the following:

Constituent Deputy Representative type
Toribio Dávalos [es] Titular
Cayetano Requena [es] Titular
Toribio Rodríguez de Mendoza Titular
Pedro Sayán [es] Substitute

The department was subsequently annexed to Lima in 1823.

Subdivisions

The department was divided in three provinces (partidos).
