Colonia Avellaneda is a village and municipality in Entre Ríos Province in north-eastern Argentina.[1] It is part of the Gran Paraná urban agglomeration and has a population of approximately 3,030 inhabitants as of the 2010 census.
Colonia Avellaneda was established as a rural population center with a governing board on March 12, 1985, under decree No. 689/1985. The municipality was officially recognized by law No. 9573 on June 23, 2004, which sanctioned its census and jurisdiction. On February 4, 2005, it was formally created as a second-category municipality through decree No. 234/2005.
On December 10, 2011, the dual categories of municipalities in Entre Ríos were abolished, leading Colonia Avellaneda to transition from having a promotion board to being governed by a municipal president and a deliberative council consisting of seven members.
