ckground:white">The municipality of
Boaco was traditionally part of the Chontales
Department. On February 4, 1910, the government of José Madriz established the department of Jerez
with the city of Boaco as its capital. However, the conservative government
reversed that law. It was not until July 18, 1935 that the government of Juan Bautista Sacasa created the Boaco Department, incorporating the
municipalities of Boaco, Camoapa, San Lorenzo, Teustepe, San José de los Remates and Santa
Lucía. Boaco was designated the capital of the department.
