Their origin like stay goes back at the end of the XVII century, when the partiality of Indian huasanes. that inhabited these territories, it was granted in grace to gift Francisco of it Snows and Castile , founder of the strong one of Andalgalá (1658), after the wars calchaquíes.
In 1771, the country property was inherited by the powerful landowner gift Luis José Díaz of The Rock. who to avoid the subdivision of their valuable properties, for effects of successive inheritances, decided to "link them" legally, establishing the Mayorazgo of Huasán, October 1768.
