A simple Obelisk erected during the Government of President Luis M Sanchez Cerro is timeless testimony more beyond this Act, the village remains one more the Chirla Valley waiting for Government support to enhance their development but it is not and the foundation of San Miguel de Tangarara what is about this article. We want to sketch some lines about the etymology of the word itself; them that are part of our work of research on pre-Hispanic linguistics in the Department of Piura in pre-Hispanic times Tangarara was not a big city like Poechos but neither was a negligible population.
It was an important seat carved where it was the residence of the local curacas of the Group carved of the Chira Valley, while Poechos was the inca provincial capital.
