This place has the name of the communist activist and public servant of Santiago City Hall, Lincoyán Berrios, who was arrested on December 15 of 1976 in the street by agents of the National Intelligence Directorate (DINA).
Berrios was President of the National Association of Municipal Servant and leader of the Latin American Central of State Employees (Central Latino Americana de Trabajadores Estatales), among other charges of his extensive union career. After the disappearance, his remains were found in 2001 in the Mine Los Bronces of Cuesta Barriga and finally identified in July 2012.
