History of Auquinco
How Auquinco Became a Commune
The area known as Auquinco officially became a "commune" on 19 August 1918. This happened through a special government order called Decree number 3,458. A commune is like a local administrative area, similar to a town or district today.
When Auquinco Stopped Being a Commune
Auquinco did not stay a commune for very long. On 30 December 1927, a new law was passed. This law, called Decree with Force of Law No. 8,583, ended Auquinco's status as a commune.
This change was part of a bigger plan by the government at the time. The leader, Carlos Ibáñez del Campo, was making many changes to how the country was run. Auquinco's land was then added to a nearby area called the commune of Chépica. The commune of Auquinco officially stopped existing on 1 February 1928.
