TheGovernorate of New Toledo^[1] was aSpanish Governorate of theCrown of Castile formed from the previous southern half of theInca Empire, stretching south into present day centralChile, and east into present day centralBrazil.

It was established by KingCharles I of Spain in 1528.Diego de Almagro was the appointed Spanish royal governor after the failure ofSimón de Alcazaba y Sotomayor to establish himself in the area after theCapitulation of Toledo of 1529.

It was replaced by the SpanishViceroyalty of Peru in 1542.

After the territorial division of South America between Spain andPortugal, the Peruvian Hispanic administration was divided into six entities:

• Province of Tierra Firme, included theCaribbean Coast, Central America, the Pacific Coast of Colombia and Mexico.
• Governorate of New Castile, consisting of the territories from roughly theEcuadorian-Colombian border in the north toCuzco in the south.
• Governorate of New Toledo, forming the previous southern half of the Inca empire, stretching towards centralChile.
• Governorate of New Andalusia, which was not formally conquered by Spain until decades later.
• Governorate of New León, the southernmost part of the continent until theStrait of Magellan.
• Governorate of Terra Australis, territories from the south of the Strait of Magellan to theSouth Pole.

This territorial division set the basis for the Hispanic administration of South America for several decades. It was formally dissolved in 1544, when King Charles I sent his personal envoy,Blasco Núñez Vela, to govern the newly founded Viceroyalty of Peru that replaced the governorates.
