History
Simultaneously with the creation of the Province of Aija, by Law N°8188, Huacllan was elevated to the category of District. The degree of obtained advance and the progressive eagerness of its population, justified this promotion. Previously it had been an annex of the Succha District.
Capital
The district's capital is the town of Huacllán, located on the slopes of the Condorkaka at an elevation of 3.083 m. Its more important locality is San Isidro.

gollark: It was not NEEDED.
gollark: There are some on ebay, weirdly.
gollark: The old one had a removable battery, the new one (which is also pretty old at this point) does *not* and the battery is quite fried, so I should replace it SOON™.
gollark: My previous phones have been in the £100 ballpark and pretty okay for what I need.
gollark: And... 400$ is quite a lot, but we're just used to stupidly high phone prices now apparently.
