Peten is regarded as being the heartland of the Maya Classic Period. It estimated that several million people once lived in the region. After the collapse of the Maya Classic Period, population dipped dramatically and Peten was soon regarded as the backwoods of Guatamala. In the 1960’s, the government began offering cheap land to its citizens to settle Peten. In 1982, the first paved road was constructed in the department.
