Partido de Vicente López

In 1905, a slice of San Isidro was carved out to form a new entity. This entity would become known as the Partido de Vicente López. It was named after a man who penned the words that stir the hearts of every Argentine, Vicente López y Planes, the author of the Argentine National Anthem. Partido de Vicente López, nestled within the bustling embrace of Greater Buenos Aires, is a place of contrasts. It’s a vibrant hub of activity, yet surprisingly tranquil. It’s a haven for families, where children’s laughter echoes through its streets and parks. The Partido de Vicente López covers a mere 33 square kilometers, making it the smallest partido in Buenos Aires Province. It’s the second smallest municipality in all of Argentina. Despite its diminutive size, it boasts a population of nearly 270,000. This makes it the 8th most populated partido in Greater Buenos Aires. The area is known for its affluence. It’s home to expansive residential neighborhoods and the Quinta de Olivos, the official residence of the Argentine president. Imagine strolling along the scenic coastal park that borders the glistening Río de la Plata. Picture yourself standing before the gates of the Quinta de Olivos. The Partido de Vicente López is more than just a political district. It’s a tapestry woven with threads of history, culture, and natural beauty. It’s a place where the echoes of the past mingle with the dynamism of the present. In October 2023, Vicente López received a prestigious designation.
