Quilpué
Quilpué is a city and capital of the Marga Marga Province in central Chile's Valparaíso Region. It is part of the Greater Valparaíso metropolitan area. It is widely known as "City of the Sun" (''Ciudad del Sol'') and the urban part of it also comprises the town of El Belloto, an area that showed rapid growth in the late 1990s.
==Etymology==
There are various theories about the origin of the word ''Quilpué''. According to some, ''Quilpué'' means ''place where there are pigeons'', arguing that pigeons were found abundantly in the area and that the name derives from the aboriginal words ''cullpo'' (''dove'') and ''hue'' (''place''). Other authors suggest that it means ''place of the stone lancet'', because the Picunches (the indigenous Mapuche people) were experts in the manufacture of these items that were used for medical procedures. Numbers of these stone lancets have been found in the area's archaeological sites, as well as the original formation which was quarried for them.
