Villa Tehuelches is a Chilean village (pop. 151[when?]) and capital of the commune (Spanish: comuna) of Laguna Blanca[1] in the Magallanes Province, Magallanes and Antartica Chilena Region. This area of Patagonian plains (Quechua: pampas) is suitable for livestock and the breeding of sheep.[2]
The municipality was created on 30 December 1927 with the original name of Morro Chico, and was renamed following the reformulation of borders in Decree No. 2868, 26.10.1979.[citation needed]
