== History ==
Castro is Chile's third oldest city in continued existence.〔Jorge Sánchez R.: ''Chiloé - tradición y cultura'', p. 31. Santiago de Chile. ISBN 956-309-024-1〕 Rodrigo de Quiroga as the temporary governor of Chile in 1567 launched a campaign led by his son in-law Captain Martín Ruiz de Gamboa to conquer Chiloé Island, establishing the city of Castro there, and pacifying its inhabitants, the Cuncos. From its founding on 12 February 1576 until 1767 Castro was the administrative centre of Chiloé Island. In 1594 Castro had 8.000 inhabitants most of whom were farmers.〔Dominique Verhasselt: ''Archipielago Chiloé - el encanto de una isla misteriosa'', p.110. Santiago de Chile 2008. ISBN 978-956-7136-53-7.〕 Up to the mid of the 17th century the town was looted by Dutch pirates several times. In 1767, during the time of the Bourbon Reforms that sought to modernize the Spanish Empire, Chiloé was separated from the General Captaincy of Chile to which it had previously belonged and made a direct subject of the Viceroyalty of Peru. To ease the communications with Lima the capital of the archipelago was moved from Castro to Ancud in the same year. Even after the incorporation of Chiloé of into the Republic of Chile Ancud remained the capital of the archipelago. Castro was destroyed by an earthquake in 1837 and had only 1.243 inhabitants in 1907. After the inauguration of the railway line to Ancud in 1912 the town developed better. Many buildings, e.g. railway station, town hall and many of the wooden ''palafitos'' houses, were destroyed or damaged by the earthquake and the tsunami of 1960. In 1960, Castro had 7.000 inhabitants.〔Juan Mancilla Pérez: ''Pueblos de Chiloé'', p. 42. Castro 2008〕 Only in 1982 did Castro regain its role as capital in Chiloé Archipelago.
