29 September - Tocopilla Day in Chile
Tocopilla is a city and commune in the Norte Grande of Chile, located in the Antofagasta Region. It is the capital of the Province of Tocopilla and occupies an equidistant position between two of the largest urban areas of the Norte Grande, Iquique and Antofagasta.
The city was founded as a cove in 1843 by the French citizen Domingo Latrille Loustauneau, consul of his country in Cobija, when a geomensura was made for the implementation of a road lane by request of the Mineralogical Society of Tocopilla (Valparaiso, Chile) of Zenón Urbistondo. At the same time, the Punta Paquica guano mines were being exploited, and its bay served as a shipping port for guano and copper. In 1870 the first shipments of saltpeter were made from Cantón Toco and, in 1871, it was named "Puerto Menor" by Bolivia.
