Isla de Pascua Department, also named Easter Island Department,[1] was one of the departments of the historical province of Valparaíso before the "regionalization" of 1974. It was named after Easter Island and comprised such territory and the Sala y Gómez island. It was effectively replaced in 1976 by the Isla de Pascua Province.
