History

Administrative Creation

The province now known as Peravia was originally established as on November 23, 1944, through Law No. 747, promulgated during the dictatorship of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo, with its capital in the city of . This law erected the new province by segregating territories from the existing Province of Trujillo (later renamed San Cristóbal), including the district municipality of , as part of efforts to refine local governance structures. The creation of Province also involved incorporating adjacent areas originally under Azua Province, reflecting the regime's strategy to adjust boundaries for enhanced administrative efficiency in the southern region. These initial boundaries encompassed what would later become the separate de Ocoa Province, which was detached in 2001 via Law No. 66-00, effective January 1 of that year. This establishment occurred amid a broader wave of administrative reorganizations in the during the 1940s under Trujillo's rule, which increased the number of provinces from 11 to 26 between 1930 and 1961 to centralize authority, fragment potential opposition, and strengthen national control over peripheral areas. Law No. 747 specifically suppressed the short-lived Monseñor Meriño Province, redistributing its territories to consolidate the new entity and align with the regime's territorial vision.

Name Changes and Evolution

The area of present-day Peravia was settled by the Spanish in the early 16th century, with colonization centered on sugar production in the Baní plain. Upon its creation in late 1944, the province was renamed José Trujillo Valdez Province to honor the father of dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo, José Trujillo Valdez. After the assassination of Rafael Trujillo on May 30, 1961, the post-dictatorship government initiated a de-Trujillization process, renaming the province Peravia on November 29, 1961; the name derives from the fertile Peravia Valley that dominates its landscape. On September 6, 2000, passed Ley No. 66-00, which detached the northern municipality of San José de Ocoa—along with its districts of Rancho Arriba and Sabana Larga—from Peravia to establish it as a separate , effective January 1, 2001; this reduced Peravia's area from over 1,600 km² to 785.08 km². These renamings and boundary adjustments reflected broader political transitions in the , shifting from personalized dictator-era nomenclature to geographic and administrative practicality, which facilitated more localized governance and reinforced regional identities tied to natural features like the Peravia Valley.
