The Governorate of Quijos (Spanish: Gobierno de Quijos / Gobernación de los Quijos), also known unofficially as the Province of the Quijos (Spanish: Provincia de los Quijos, formerly Quixos) prior to 1577, was one of the provinces established at the eastern part of the Real Audiencia of Quito in 1559,[1] varying between the Viceroyalties of Peru (1559–1717; 1723–1739) and New Granada (1717–1723; 1739–1802) until its ultimate reincorporation to Peru through the real cédula of July 15, 1802, as part of the General Command of Maynas.
