How Miramar Was Created
Miramar was officially established on March 7, 1997. This happened because of a special rule called Law 10. Later, two more rules, Law 5 (from January 19, 1998) and Law 69 (from October 28, 1998), helped to make sure everything was set up correctly for Miramar. These laws helped define Miramar as a corregimiento.
