background
People settled here even before the birth of Christ. At that time, this area was part of the closer urban area of Cerros. With the decline of the inhabitants from 200 AD. The residents on the edge of the Seca lagoon also increasingly left the area. When the first English penetrated here in 1877, they did not find any residents, but found a few old copper coins from San Fernando. Hence, they named the place Copper Bank. Today this is a small fishing village with 500 inhabitants far away from everything on the Seca lagoon.
