San Pedro, a district of historical significance, was established on 5 October 1951 by Ley 1360, Anexa de Buenos Aires.

San Pedro, a district nestled on the slopes of the Chirripó National Park, is a picturesque blend of coffee plantations, tourist spots, and agricultural activities.

Agriculture also occupies an important place, and coffee, although with its unstable prices, continues to be a useful income for many families, who earn a little money with the harvesting of the grain.

Another of the projects that stand out in this district is the construction of the Liceo San Pedro, which, in its first years of being founded, earned the title of the best in academic performance.

The improvement in road infrastructure is notable; the ballast looks in better condition, and the street is paved from the Interamerican Highway to the population center.
