edit

It is located 40 km southeast of the city of Coronel Dorrego, via a rural road that branches off from National Route 3.[1]

History and population

edit

The opening of the railway station of the Defferrari - Coronel Dorrego branch of the Buenos Aires Great Southern Railway in 1929 led to the formation of the town. The subsequent closure of railway services in 1961 caused a population decline.

In the Argentine censuses of 2001 and 2010, it was counted as a dispersed rural population.
