Cañete was founded by Governor [[García Hurtado de Mendoza, 5th Marquis of Cañete|García Hurtado de Mendoza]] as ''Cañete de la Frontera'', in honor of his father, [[Andrés Hurtado de Mendoza, 3rd Marquis of Cañete]]. His title was originated by villa [[Cañete, Cuenca|Cañete]], in [[Crown of Castile]].
Cañete was founded under the name of "Cañete de la Frontera" in 1558. The city was established by Governor [[García Hurtado de Mendoza, 5th Marquis of Cañete|García Hurtado de Mendoza]] and named in honor of his father, [[Andrés Hurtado de Mendoza, 3rd Marquis of Cañete]]. The marquis' title originated from the Castile town [[Cañete, Cuenca|Cañete]].

Before the founding, the place was known as Tucapel, which means ''taking by force'' in [[Mapudungun]].

Currently, Cañete is known as the ''Historic City'' (Spanish: ''ciudad histórica'') by mass media.

Cañete is a city and commune in Chile, located in the Arauco Province of the Biobío Region. It is located 135 km to the south of Concepción.[4] Cañete is known as a "Historic City" (Spanish: ciudad histórica)[5] as it is one of the oldest cities in the country. The Battle of Tucapel and Pedro de Valdivia's death happened near the city's current location. Cañete was also an important location in the Arauco War.

History

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Cañete was founded under the name of "Cañete de la Frontera" in 1558. The city was established by Governor García Hurtado de Mendoza and named in honor of his father, Andrés Hurtado de Mendoza, 3rd Marquis of Cañete. The marquis' title originated from the Castile town Cañete.

Fort Tucapel

[edit]

The area was known as Tucapel, meaning taking by force in Mapudungun. In October 1553, Pedro de Valdivia founded the Fort Tucapel, next to the present city of Cañete. Two months later, native Mapuches destroyed the fort. Valdivia returned on 25 December 1553, to rebuild the fort, but the Spanish army was once again defeated in the Battle of Tucapel, an early battle in the Arauco War. Valdivia was captured and killed.

Cañete de la Frontera

[edit]

In January 1558, Governor García Hurtado de Mendoza founded the city as Cañete de la Frontera three kilometers to the west of the present location of the city. Hurtado de Mendoza named Alonso de Reinoso as corregidor of Cañete. The Mapuches, led by Caupolican, besieged the city, but they were defeated in the battle of the Fort of Cañete.

Subsequent military defeats forced governor Francisco de Villagra to abandon the city in January 1563. Three years later, a new city was started under the orders of Rodrigo de Quiroga but it did not prosper either due to constant attacks by the Mapuches.

Refounding

[edit]

The present city was founded on 12 November 1868 by colonel Cornelio Saavedra Rodríguez as part of the pacification of Araucanía.

21st century

[edit]

On 12 November 2006 a major car accident occurred near Canete when a bus with 28 people fell into the River Tucapel and 19 passengers died. 17 of the victims were soldiers who were members of the band Reinforced Regiment No. 7 "Chacabuco" Concepción. The group was traveling to a celebration for the anniversary of the founding of Cañete. The press titled the accident "tragedy of Cañete," like the tragedy of Antuco. President Michelle Bachelet, the minister of National Defense Vivianne Blanlot and Commander-in-Chief Óscar Izurieta traveled to Concepción for the funerals.

The 2010 Chilean earthquake caused major damage to the city. The Kallvu Llanka hospital, which was being constructed, was severely impacted, delaying its opening from 8 October 2010 till 22 October 2013.[6][7]
