In the communication dated 23 August 1761 by José Antonio Manso de Velasco — the Viceroy of Peru — to his successor, he indicated that the Diocese of Trujillo had 79,114 people in the 7 provinces that then comprised it: Trujillo, Saña, Piura, Caxamarquilla, Caxamarca, Luya and Chillaos, Chachapoyas. The bishopric also included the governorate of Jaén de Bracamoros, belonging to the Real Audiencia of Quito in the Viceroyalty of New Granada.On 28 May 1803, the Diocese of Trujillo ceded a portion of its territory for the erection of the Diocese of Maynas.
On 5 April 1908 and 29 February 1940, the Diocese of Trujillo ceded other portions of territory for the erection of the Diocese of Cajamarca and the Diocese of Piura, respectively.
On 23 May 1943, the Diocese of Trujillo was elevated to the rank of metropolitan archdiocese with the bull Inter praecipuas of Pope Pius XII.
On 17 December 1956 and 4 December 1961, the Archdiocese of Trujillo ceded further portions of territory for the purpose of establishing the Diocese of Chiclayo and the Territorial Prelature of Huamachuco, respectively.
