Founded in 1901, it was originally a satellite city on what were then the outskirts of the city of Santiago, but as urban sprawl has set in it is now quickly urbanizing from what was recently prime agricultural land. Etymology The origin of the name Quilicura is from the Mapuche language Mapudungun and comes from the words kila meaning three and kura'' meaning stone. The "Three Stones" are three hills which separate the area and formed the border with Renca. Location Quilicura is located in Santiago Province, Santiago Metropolitan Region, at the northwestern edge of Chile's capital Santiago. It borders Renca to the south (naturally separated by Renca Hill), Pudahuel to the west, Huechuraba and Conchalí to the east, and Lampa and Colina to the north. There is little green space in comparison to wealthier neighborhoods in the city because Quilicura is still an industrial area. Demographics According
