History of Chitre

JuteVilla
created in 1915, Chitré was named its capital. In 1941, during the presidency of Arnulfo Arias Madrid, Herrera Province was joined with Los Santos Province, with Chitré as the joint province's capital. During the presidency of Ricardo Adolfo de la Guardia the two provinces were again separated (as they are today), with Chitré as the provincial capital of Herrera.

On October 19, 1948 the city had a large centennial celebration. For its commemoration, a street was renamed Avenida Centenario
