Biography

Caro Rodríguez was born in San Antonio de Petrel, Pichilemu, Chile. His parents were José María Caro Martínez, 1st Mayor of Pichilemu, and Rita Rodríguez Acevedo; the couple had nine children, including Francisco Adriano and José María, who became the first Chilean Cardinal of the Catholic Church.[1]

Political career

Caro Rodríguez was elected regidor of Pichilemu in 1906 for a three-year term, and was re-elected in 1912, 1918, 1921, and 1924. Following Luis Barahona Fornés' resignation as mayor of Pichilemu in 1925, the Pichilemu City Council elected Francisco Caro to complete his term, which lasted until May 1927.[2][3]

Only eleven years after he took office as mayor of Pichilemu, Caro Rodríguez inaugurated the local railway station as a train arrived at the city for the first time, something which was celebrated as a "historically important event," according to Washington Saldías from Pichilemu News.[1]
