Buenos Aires Great Southern Railway
The city originated with the purchase of the land in 1857 by Juan Glew, who established an estancia there. He donated land for the extension of the Buenos Aires Great Southern Railway in 1865, and a permanent settlement was founded at the site on August 14 by the name of "Pueblo Cambaceres" (in honor of Antonio Cambaceres, a distinguished writer and legislator who owned an adjacent lot).
