San Cayetano, Buenos Aires

In 1903, Victorio de la Canal, whose estancia was named "San Cayetano" after San Cayetano, a Catholic Saint (1480–1547), donated land for a British-owned railway company to build a railroad through the area. On 14 February 1907, the San Cayetano station opened. Pedro Nolasco Carrera, a local landowner with considerable political influence, requested permission to found a town near the railway station on his own land, for which official authorization was received from the provincial governor, Inocencio Arias, on 13 March 1911. Six days later, on 19 March, auctioneer Ramon Tristany conducted the first public auction of lots, both residential and agricultural.^[2] The partido, of which it is now a part, was not created until 1958.^[3]
