1880. Foundation of San Justo

3 March commemorates the official foundation of the town of San Justo in 1880. According to historical records, its establishment was promoted by Dolores Costa de Urquiza, widow of General Justo José de Urquiza, and approved by the government of the Province of Entre Ríos. The settlement grew around the Palacio San José, the general’s former residence, as part of the agricultural colonization that transformed the region in the late nineteenth century.
