(COCABAMBENSIS).

The city from which this diocese takes its name is the capital of the department
of Cochabamba, Bolivia. Founded in 1563 it was called originally Oropesa. It is
situated on the Rio de la Rocha and is the second largest city and one of the
most important commercial centres of the republic. According to the census of
1902, the population is over 40,000, of whom practically all are Catholics.

The Diocese of Cochabamba was erected by a Bull of Pius IX, 25 June, 1847, and
is a suffragan of Charcas (La Plata). It was the fourth diocese established in
Bolivia, the Archdiocese of Charcas (La Plata) and the Dioceses of La Paz and
Santa Cruz having been created early in the seventeenth century. It comprises
the department of Cochabamba and part of the adjoining department of Beni. The
population, mostly Catholic, in 1902 was over 330,000. Besides a number of
schools and charitable institutions the diocese has 55 parishes, 80 churches and
chapels, and 160 priests.
