The territory gained provincial status in the 19th century, evolving from agricultural settlements into the fourth largest metropolitan area of Peru.

The province contains numerous pre-Columbian archaeological sites, including the Sipán pyramids and the Royal Tombs Museum displaying Moche civilization artifacts.
