Barranca is a city in coastal Peru, capital of the Barranca Province in the Department of Lima.[2]
Historically it started out as a small settlement port made up of local fisherman supplying fish alongside the port of Callao. It is, however, the city it is today mostly from its growth during the Republican era in Peru in the late 1890s to the 1930s.[3]
