The Moyobamba uprising was a failed attempt by the city to rise up against royalist forces. Orchestrated by the merchant and supporter of the patriotic cause, Pedro Pascasio Noriega, it took place on April 10, 1821, and ended the next day when the patriots were arrested and Noriega executed. It is considered the initial feat of Maynas' independence from Spanish rule.
