History

A bit of history

In 1779 the Fortín de San Pedro de los Lobos was built, and on June 2, 1802 José Salgado officially founded the town. The name comes from the “lobos de agua” (“water wolves”) —coypus, or nutrias— of the lagoon.

Juan Domingo Perón was born in Lobos in 1895; his birthplace has been a museum since October 25, 1953. The railway station opened on May 25, 1871.

The pulpería La Estrella, on the corner of Chacabuco and Cardoner, is where Juan Moreira, the legendary gaucho, was last seen; he is buried in the town cemetery.
