Quilicura, Commune in Santiago province, Chile.
Quilicura is a commune in the Santiago Metropolitan Region situated in the northwestern section of the city. The area combines residential neighborhoods with industrial zones and serves as home to a growing population.
The commune was established in 1902 and takes its name from Mapudungun words referring to stone formations that once marked boundaries. Early development was rooted in agriculture before the area underwent rapid growth in recent decades.
The area transformed from agricultural land into a mixed residential and industrial district over recent decades. Today, residential developments and commercial spaces shape how people live and work here.
The Santiago Metro Line 3 provides direct connections to central parts of the city, making the area easily accessible by public transport. Major highways pass through the region and link it to other neighborhoods and key facilities.
The name comes from the Mapuche language and references three distinctive stone formations that once served as boundary markers with a neighboring area. These rocks remain visible reminders of the region's indigenous heritage and historical geography.
