Lince District
Lince is a district of Lima, Peru. It is the smallest district of the city, having been officially separated from Miraflores and San Isidro on May 29, 1936.
The district is named after the hacienda of the same name. Its former name, Lince y Lobatón, included the name of another hacienda. The territory of both estates became the district in the 20th century.
The district is partially located in what was once known as Guatca. The name applies to both a chieftainship (curacazgo) where maize, cotton, sugarcane and olives wer cultivated, and a pre-Columbian irrigation ditch that took water from the Rímac River to today's districts of Lince, San Isidro, and Miraflores. A local huaca, known as Limatambo (Limac Tampu), was demolished to build a school in the area.
Following the establishment of the Viceroyalty of Peru, the land belonged to the Convent of Santa Teresa de Jesús, after which it was acquired and renamed Fundo Lince after its new owner, the Spaniard Fernando de Lince Chávez de la Rota. Lince married María Mercedes Ramos, with whom he had four children, all members of the clergy. Following Lince's death, the estate was sold to Diego de Aliaga, Martín Cosme, Pedro de Abadía and José Santos Arismendi, who used slave labour to work the land.
In 1825, the land was acquired by citizens of the new Peruvian Republic. The estate's former workers built homes for their families, and the area's population gradually began to grow. In the 1920s, siblings Roberto and Manuel Risso purchased the Lince and Lobatón estates, being succeeded by the Brescia family. In 1916, Fernando Dodero registered the area's population, numbered at 16,000, establishing a committee for progress. The construction of Arequipa Avenue in 1921 contributed to the district's growth.
The district was created through Legislative Resolution No. 8281 of May 18, 1936, divided into three neighbourhoods (urbanizaciones): Lince, Lobatón and Escuela de Agricultura. Lince began to operate as a district on October 10, 1945, with Juan Velásquez Gamarra serving as mayor.
The three main sections of Lince are the West Side (also known as Lobatón), the East Side (both sides are separated by Avenida Arenales), and San Eugenio, southeast of the East Side facing the Luis Bedoya Avenue and Expressway.
North to South, Lince follows the block numbering started in Santa Beatriz section of Lima District and its parallel in Jesús María, but there are a few north-south avenues that do not have a Santa Beatriz counterpart. Edgardo Rebagliati Martins National Hospital is a common area with Jesús María, particularly on the East Side.
