Name
Arribeños was named after an infantry regiment which fought against the British in the early 19th century.[2]
History
The land now making up Arribeños was formerly owned by two different companies, the Kenny Company and, later, the Stroeder Company. Rail service began in the area in 1902 under what is now the Ferrocarril General San Martin, and a town began to develop around it.[2] Arribeños is considered to have been founded on November 13, 1904. Rail service ended in the 1990s.[3]
In recent years, the water and sewage system in the town has been modernized through a government project.[4]
