  The district was named after a locomotive called La Floresta. The neighborhood developed following the arrival to the area of Argentina's first rail line, in 1857.
  Avellaneda Park, the neighborhood's most important, was built in 1914 on grounds that once belonged to a monastery.

Today, it is home to the Floresta Cultural and Historical Society, which maintains a valuable library there.
