==History== | |||
When the independence of the Dominican Republic was proclaimed, Duarte was the first town of the Cibao that rose in favor of the deed of the Puerta del Conde. After the republic had been constituted Duarte was a common of La Vega.<br> | |||
In 1896, San Francisco became the head of the Pacifying District - this name was given in honor of President Ulises Heureaux, who was given the title of Peacemaker of the Fatherland. In 1925 the name of Province Pacifier was changed to that of Provincia Duarte, in honor of the Father of Nationality, Juan Pablo Duarte. | |||

In 1804, the Dominican Republic began the practice of civil registration, creating the offices of the civil state (oficialías del estado civil) in charge of registering the events of birth, marriage, and death in the life of its citizens. However, only some civil registration books dating back to 1823 have been found. It wasn’t until June of 1944 that the National Congress provided new regulations for civil registration. Each civil registrar (Oficial del Estado Civil) is required to keep a duplicate registry of the original records of birth, marriage, divorce, and death. At the end of each year, the original registry, together with its corresponding index book, is sent to the Central Office of the Civil State. These civil registrations allow people to be identified as citizens and therefore able to receive governmental benefits in the future. | In 1804, the Dominican Republic began the practice of civil registration, creating the offices of the civil state (oficialías del estado civil) in charge of registering the events of birth, marriage, and death in the life of its citizens.
