Locumba is a town in southern Peru. It is the capital of the district of the same name and of Jorge Basadre province, located in the department of Tacna.
==History== In 1880, it was the site of a battle against Chile during the War of the Pacific. On April 1, 1884, Miguel Iglesias created the department of Moquegua, incorporating Tacna's districts of Locumba and Ilabaya. Three years later, Andrés Avelino Cáceres declared the law null and void, with the districts returning to their original jurisdiction.
