Buenos Aires Province
Encyclopedia
The Province of Buenos Aires (ˈbwenos ˈaiɾes, Provincia de Buenos Aires) (English: Fair Winds) is the largest and most populous province of Argentina
. It takes the name from the city of Buenos Aires
, which used to be the provincial capital until it was federalized in 1880. The current capital of the province is the city of La Plata
, founded in 1882.
The province limits to the north with Entre Ríos
and Santa Fe
; to the west, with Córdoba, La Pampa
and Río Negro
; to south and east, with the Atlantic Ocean
. The entire province is part of the Pampas geographical region.
The province has a population of about 15.6 million people, or 39% of Argentina's total population. Nearly 10 million people live in Greater Buenos Aires
, the metropolitan area surrounding the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. The area of the province, 307571 km² (118,753.8 sq mi), makes it the largest in Argentina with around 11% of the country's total area.
The inhabitants of the province before the 16th century advent of Spanish colonisation were aboriginal peoples such as the Charrúa
s and the Querandíes
; but their culture has been lost for, over the next 350 years, they were subjected to a virtual genocide
from which few survived. The survivors joined other tribe
s or have been mostly absorbed by Argentina's European
majority.
Pedro de Mendoza
founded Santa María del Buen Ayre
in 1536 and even though the first contact with the aboriginals was peaceful, it soon became hostile. The city was evacuated in 1541. Juan de Garay
re-founded the settlement in 1580 as Santísima Trinidad y Puerto Santa María de los Buenos Aires.
Amidst ongoing conflict with the aboriginals, the cattle farms extended from Buenos Aires, whose port was always the centre of the economy of the territory. Following the creation of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata
at the end of the 18th century, the export of meat, leather and their derivatives through the port of Buenos Aires was the basis of the economic development of the region.
Jesuits unsuccessfully tried to peacefully assimilate the aboriginals into the Europe
an culture brought by the Spanish
conquistadores. A certain balance was found at the end of the 18th century, when the Salado River
became the limit between both civilizations, and despite frequent malones
(aboriginal attacks on border settlements). The end to such situation came as late as 1879 with the Conquest of the Desert
(Conquista del Desierto) in which the aboriginals where almost completely exterminated.
After the independence from Spain
in 1816, the city and province of Buenos Aires became the focus of an intermittent Argentine Civil War
with other provinces. A Federal Pact
secured by Governor Juan Manuel de Rosas
in 1831 led to the establishment of the Argentine Confederation
and to his gaining the sum of public power
, which provided a tenuous unity. Ongoing disputes regarding the influence of Buenos Aires, between Federalists
and Unitarians
, and over the Port of Buenos Aires
(the prime source of public revenue at the time) fueled periodic hostilities. The province was declared independent on September 11, 1852, as the State of Buenos Aires
, though concessions gained in the 1859 Pact of San José de Flores
and a victory at the Battle of Pavón
led to its reincorporation into the Argentine Republic on December 17, 1861. Intermittent conflicts with the nation did not truly cease until 1880, when the city of Buenos Aires was formally federalized and, thus, administratively separated from the province itself.
La Plata
was founded in 1882 by Governor Dardo Rocha
for the purpose of becoming the provincial capital. The equivalent of a billion (1880s) dollars of British investment and pro-development, education and immigration policies
pursued at the national level subsequently spurred dramatic economic growth. Driven by European immigration and improved health, the province's population, like Argentina's, nearly doubled to one million by 1895 and doubled again by 1914. Rail lines
connected nearly every town and hamlet in the province by 1914; indeed, many developed around the new railway stations, themselves.
This era of accelerated development was cut short by the Wall Street Crash of 1929
, which caused a sharp drop in commodity prices (99% of Argentine exports were, at the time, agricultural in nature) and led to a halt in the flow of investment funds between nations. The new Concordance
and Perón
governments funded ambitious lending and public works programs, visible in Buenos Aires Province through the panoply of levees, power plants, water works, paved roads, municipal buildings, and (particularly during Perón's 1946-55 tenure) schools, clinics and massive regional hospitals.
The province's population, after 1930, began to grow disproportionately quickly in the suburban areas around the city of Buenos Aires. These suburbs had grown to include 4 million out of the province's total 7 million people in 1960. Much of the area these new suburbs were developed on, however, (particularly the poorer ones) consisted of wetlands and were prone to flooding. To address this, Governor Oscar Alende
initiated the province's most important flood-control project to this day, the Roggero Reservoir. Completed a decade later, in 1971, the reservoir and associated electric and water-treatment facilities encouraged still more - and more orderly - development of the Greater Buenos Aires
region, which today includes around 10 million people (2/3 of the province's); but, it did not address worsening pollution resulting from the area's industrial growth, which had made itself evident since around 1920. This problem has been worst along the Reconquista River
west and north of the city of Buenos Aires; over 4 million people (One in 10 Argentines) today live on the Reconquista's basin. Of these, about a million still live with seriously compromised water quality, despite the province's numerous (sometimes counterproductive) efforts to remedy the issue.
. Its neighbouring provinces clockwise from the southwest are Rio Negro
, La Pampa, Córdoba, Santa Fe
and Entre Rios
. To the east is the Atlantic Ocean
. It is also the largest province
of Argentina.
The landscape is mainly flat, with two low mountain ranges; Sierra de la Ventana (near Bahía Blanca
) and Sierra de Tandil (Tandil
). The highest point is Cerro Tres Picos (1239 m (4,065 ft) amsl
; 38° 8' S, 61° 58' W) and the longest river is Río Salado
(700 km (435 mi) long).
As part of The Pampas
the weather of the province is strongly influenced by the ocean, with hot summers and temperate winters. Humidity is high and precipitations are abundant and distributed over the year. The Western and Southwestern regions are dryer.
and 5 million in the rest of the province. Around 33,8% of the inhabitants weren't born in the province, of which 3,918,552 are immigrants from other provinces and 758,640 were born abroad.
Most of its inhabitants are descendants from colonial-era settlers and immigrants from Europe that arrived to the country within the 19th and 20th century, mostly Italians
, Spaniards
and in a lesser extent Germans, French
and British
.
The climate of the province of Buenos Aires is extremely benign for human activities: it is temperate, with four marked seasons and reliable rainfall on most regions. The province can be divided in four main climatic regions: the southwestern, dryer region, the cool Atlantic region, the northern and eastern humid region, and the Delta region, with the warmest, wettest climate.
The northern region has warm, humid summers, with days between 28°C and 32°C (82F to 90F) and nights between 16°C and 20°C (61F to 68F), pleasant falls, cool, dryer winters with highs between 13°C and 18°C (55F to 64F) and nights between 2°C and 5°C (35F to 41F), and windy, variable springs. Heat waves may bring days with temperatures over 38°C (100F), but these do not usually last very long, as cold fronts bring thunderstorms and cooler days, with night temperatures often falling down to 12°C (54F). Winter cold waves may bring days with highs about 8°C (46F), and lows below -4°C (25F), with extremes up to -8°C (18F). Snow is uncommon, but there have been accumulations on several occasions in the past. Precipitation ranges from 750 mm to 1,100 mm.
The Delta region is slightly warmer, especially at night, due to the presence of water and the northerly location. Summer nights tend to be stickier, and winters can be damp and foggy, with most nights between 4°C and 8°C (39F to 46F). Frost is still to be expected, but temperatures will almost never fall below -4°C (25F), and snow has fallen only twice in the last century. Precipitation ranges from 1,000 mm to 1,300 mm and falls throughout the year. The city of Buenos Aires is surrounded by a climate similar to the northern part of the province, but the city itself resembles more the Delta climate, with less frost.
The southwestern region is the driest region, and it experiences a more marked amplitude in temperatures. Summers are often hot, between 30°C and 35°C (86F to 95F), but nights are usually comfortable (14°C to 18°C, or 57F to 64F). Thunderstorms are less frequent, but can be very violent in nature. Frost can make an appearance as early as March, but usually first comes in April. Winters are cool and dry, with days between 10°C and 16°C (50F to 61F) and nights between -1°C and 4°C (30F to 39F). Frost occurs on an almost daily basis, with temperatures below -6°C (21F) not uncommon, and up to -12°C (10F) recorded in some areas. Snowfall may occur every once in a while, but accumulations are usually small. Total precipitation ranges from 500 mm to 750 mm, with slightly rainier springs and falls.
The Atlantic region sees very moderate weather: the ocean is cold (17°C to 20°C, or 63F to 68F in the summer) and sea breezes often bring chilly weather until midsummer. The hottest months average 25°C to 27°C (77F to 81F) with nights between 12°C and 16°C (53F to 60F), providing a perfect relief for the inhabitants of the hotter interior. Fall is often rainy, and winters can be windy and chilly: temperatures average from 10°C to 15°C (50F to 59F), and nights from 1°C to 5°C (33F to 41F). There can be long periods of drizzly weather and constant temperatures of about 7°C (45F). Frost is common but temperatures will rarely fall below -5°C (23F), and snow falls sometimes, but accumulations are only to be expected every few years.
Precipitation ranges from 700 mm to 950 mm. The Sierras de la Ventana (up to 1,200 meters) experience cooler weather, especially at night.
The geography of the province is crossed by occasional west Pampero
winds. The southern Sudestada
produces storms and temperature drops, most notably the Santa Rosa storm, which takes place every year almost exactly on August 30.
The province's economy has long been the largest in Argentina, estimated in 2006 to have been US$107.6 billion (a third of the national total). Its per capita income of US$7,780, though, was somewhat below the national average The province is the nation's chief exporter, generating nearly US$25 billion in exports in 2008 (37% of the nation's total).
Agriculture in the province is renowned around the world for its productivity. The province is Argentina's chief agricultural producer
, and accounted for at least US$6 billion in export earnings in 2006. This sector adds about 5% to the province's highly diversified economy, however.The province's ranching sector is diversified, and though cattle historically provided the main animal husbandry activity, Buenos Aires is also the top producer of sheep, pork
, and chicken
meat of the country. Equally important is the Dairy
industry. Crop harvests are the most diverse in the nation, and have grown to record levels in recent decades. The most important crops include soybean
, maize
, wheat
, sunflower
and other oilseeds, like flax
. More recently, premium wines are produced in the Buenos Aires wine
region in the south of the province.
Manufacturing accounts for a fourth of the province's output and is about 40% of the entire nation's. The industry of the province is diverse: chemical, pharmaceutical, metallurgic, motor vehicles, machinery, textiles and the food industry are the most notable. Excluding processed agricultural items, the province was responsible for over US$10 billion of industrial exports in 2006 and accounted for a third of all Argentine exports.
The province's services sector is well-diversified and differs little from national trends. The largest local bank is the public Bank of the Province of Buenos Aires
. The institution, the second-largest in Argentina, holds nearly a tenth of the nation's bank deposits.
Tourists, mainly from Buenos Aires, visit the Atlantic
coast.
There are many cities and town along the coast line that starts some 250 kilometres from Buenos Aires after the Samborombón Bay
. Among them, the biggest and most important is Mar del Plata
, followed by the Coastal district
, Pinamar
, Villa Gesell
, Miramar
and Necochea
. The most important summer-related event, the National Sea Festival
, is held annually in the city of Mar del Plata. The city's Central Casino
and Grand Provincial Hotel
are among the nation's largest.
Other destinations include the Ventana Sierras, Tandil
, Tigre
, the Paraná Delta
, Isla Martín García
, the Chascomús
and Gómez
lagoons, and La Plata
.
Agritourism
in estancia
s has become increasingly popular for foreigners visiting the province in recent years. The province's wine district
, centered around Médanos
, has also become prominent for visitors touring the Argentina Wine Route
.
The province is divided in 135 administrative sections called "partidos" (administrative centres in brackets).

Climate
The northern region has warm, humid summers, with days between 28°C and 32°C (82F to 90F) and nights between 16°C and 20°C (61F to 68F), pleasant falls, cool, dryer winters with highs between 13°C and 18°C (55F to 64F) and nights between 2°C and 5°C (35F to 41F), and windy, variable springs. Heat waves may bring days with temperatures over 38°C (100F), but these do not usually last very long, as cold fronts bring thunderstorms and cooler days, with night temperatures often falling down to 12°C (54F). Winter cold waves may bring days with highs about 8°C (46F), and lows below -4°C (25F), with extremes up to -8°C (18F). Snow is uncommon, but there have been accumulations on several occasions in the past. Precipitation ranges from 750 mm to 1,100 mm.
The Delta region is slightly warmer, especially at night, due to the presence of water and the northerly location. Summer nights tend to be stickier, and winters can be damp and foggy, with most nights between 4°C and 8°C (39F to 46F). Frost is still to be expected, but temperatures will almost never fall below -4°C (25F), and snow has fallen only twice in the last century. Precipitation ranges from 1,000 mm to 1,300 mm and falls throughout the year. The city of Buenos Aires is surrounded by a climate similar to the northern part of the province, but the city itself resembles more the Delta climate, with less frost.
The southwestern region is the driest region, and it experiences a more marked amplitude in temperatures. Summers are often hot, between 30°C and 35°C (86F to 95F), but nights are usually comfortable (14°C to 18°C, or 57F to 64F). Thunderstorms are less frequent, but can be very violent in nature. Frost can make an appearance as early as March, but usually first comes in April. Winters are cool and dry, with days between 10°C and 16°C (50F to 61F) and nights between -1°C and 4°C (30F to 39F). Frost occurs on an almost daily basis, with temperatures below -6°C (21F) not uncommon, and up to -12°C (10F) recorded in some areas. Snowfall may occur every once in a while, but accumulations are usually small. Total precipitation ranges from 500 mm to 750 mm, with slightly rainier springs and falls.
The Atlantic region sees very moderate weather: the ocean is cold (17°C to 20°C, or 63F to 68F in the summer) and sea breezes often bring chilly weather until midsummer. The hottest months average 25°C to 27°C (77F to 81F) with nights between 12°C and 16°C (53F to 60F), providing a perfect relief for the inhabitants of the hotter interior. Fall is often rainy, and winters can be windy and chilly: temperatures average from 10°C to 15°C (50F to 59F), and nights from 1°C to 5°C (33F to 41F). There can be long periods of drizzly weather and constant temperatures of about 7°C (45F). Frost is common but temperatures will rarely fall below -5°C (23F), and snow falls sometimes, but accumulations are only to be expected every few years.
Precipitation ranges from 700 mm to 950 mm. The Sierras de la Ventana (up to 1,200 meters) experience cooler weather, especially at night.
