Concepción Department, Administrative department in northern Paraguay.
Located in northwest Paraguay, Concepción Department covers 18,051 square kilometers of land featuring limestone terrains, fertile plains, and multiple river systems.
The department experienced population changes during colonial times due to Brazilian bandeirantes invasions and indigenous conflicts until the establishment of Belén in 1760.
The department maintains fourteen districts including San Lázaro, San Carlos, Loreto, and Belén, each contributing to the regional agricultural and economic activities.
The Paraguay River forms the western border of the department, providing essential transportation routes and connecting to major highways leading to Asunción.
The department contains large deposits of limestone used for cement production, while its fertile lands support extensive cotton and sugarcane cultivation.
