Wikipedia description:
Morococha is a town in the Morococha District in the Yauli Province of the Junín Region in Peru. It was the capital of the Morococha District until September 12, 2013, when the town of Nueva Morococha (Spanish nuevo(a) new, "new Morococha") was established as the new capital of the district by Law No. 30081.
