The province of Cajabamba was founded by the friars of the Order of Hermits of the Great Father Saint Augustine, who, having been sent from Spain by King Charles V with the permission of Pope Paul III, arrived in this region in 1533. The "Three Juans," a trio of friars named Juan de San Pedro, Juan del Canto, and Juan Ramirez settled on the right bank of the Los Ojos de Lanla spring. As part of their mission to colonize the area, the friars reorganized the Huarangas, small groups of scattered people who gathered for work. With the reorginization of the Huarangas, they founded the town of San Nicolás de Tolentino de Cajabamba and built a mission chapel where the Santa Ana General Cemetery currently stands. In 1837, José de la Mar gave Cajabamba the title of Villa. Two years later, Agustín Gamarra granted it the title Always faithful city of Cajabamba. On January 2, 1850, the region was elevated to the status of province. In 1861, the construction of the current Main Church was completed.
