The diocese was created by Pope Pius XI with the apostolic constitution Nobilis Argentinae nationis of 20 April 1934, by dismemberment from the diocese of San Juan de Cuyo; the episcopal see was placed in M., and the church dedicated to Our Lady of Loreto became the cathedral. It is a suffragan of San Juan de Cuyo (AAS, 27 [1935], pp. 257-63).
