History

Domingo Funes sold to Juan Gödeken a fraction of his land, a place without any roads, population or housing, making historians think that Gödeken was responsible for the first settlement and the farmers that came next cleaned up and cultivated the fields, building the majority of the rural roads. The town's name could have been temporary, looking at the local geography which features many chañars, a tree common to the area that gave the name to the nearby town of Chañar Ladeado (literally ''sideways chañar''). The local township (''comuna'') was officially founded on October 11, 1906.


Sports

The town has a local football club named Huracán Football Club, founded April 11, 1929. It plays in the local ''Lorenzo Tozini'' stadium, named after a prominent member of the club. The town's principal annual event is ''Expo Globo'', a rural industry and commerce show declared to be of social interest by the Federal Senate.
