State property
The origins of San Luis are linked to the development of the sugar industry and date back to the end of the 1850s, with the arrival of the Cambiazo brothers (one of whom was named Luis) to this community which they named San Luis. 1881, the Cambiazo brothers installed a sugar mill. Later, the Catholic Church attributed the name to Saint Louis, King of France. 1895, the sugar mill passed to the Michelene family and remained so until the first years of the Trujillo era when it was transferred to The Royal Bank of Canada. By 1953, Trujillo bought the sugar mill. With the death of the dictator in 1961, all his enterprises and companies became State property.
