The Independence of Trujillo refers to the historical events that lead to the town of Trujillo, Peru becoming independent from the Colonialist Spanish state, during the Peruvian War of Independence 1811-1821. The fight for independence in the north began in the city of Trujillo [citation needed] between 1820 and 1821 and spread throughout north Peru, ending colonialialism in nearly all of northern regions of Peru (Specifically Tumbes, Cajamarca, Amazonas, Piura, Ancash, Lambayeque and San Martín.)
History
Communication with San Martin
After General Jose de San Martin landed in Paracas Bay in September 1820, the Mayor José Bernardo de Tagle received a letter from San Martin dated November 20, 1820, inviting them to join the independence movement. Tagle agreed to join, knowing the people of Trujillo wanted to be independant.[1]
Trujillo was the first city in Peru to become independence from Spain. The events which lead to independence took place between 24 December 1820 and 6 January 1821. On December 24, 1820, at the town meeting, Trujillo unanimously agreed to declare its independence within days. They then made the flag of Peru that was veiled with a guard of honor on the night of 28 December 1820. [citation needed]
Trujillo: First Independent City of Peru
Trujillo is considered the "First City Independent of Peru" because they were the first to proclaim their intentions for independence, holding a ceremony on December 24, 1820 at the historical "Casa de la Emancipación", and they were also the first to sign the declaration of independence that took place in the chapel of the college "Seminario de San Carlos y San Marcelo" and they proclaimed independence to an open council meeting in the "Plaza de Armas" (main square) located in the Historic Centre of Trujillo, on December 29, 1820. According to the "Libro rojo" of the Trujillo council, containing the records between 1820 and 1823, on January 6, 1821 they signed the declaration and proclaimed the city independent. Trujillo, which included what is now Tumbes, Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad, Cajamarca, San Martín and Amazonas - almost all of northern Peru, was henceforth released from Spanish rule.[citation needed]
According to the Trujillan Historian, Alberto Pinillos Rodríguez, Don José Bernardo de Tagle proclaimed independence to his people, with the following speech:
"My people. ...From this moment on, by a unanimous decision, Trujillo is Free. I put our fate and that of people under the protection of Heaven Long live the homeland! Long live independence! [2][3]
Independence day
The Independence of Trujillo is celebrated every year on December 29, in the city of Trujillo. The day is declared a holiday for the whole province and festivities take place including numerous cultural events and ceremonies. [2][4] [5]
