Argentina: Littoral - Paraná
|
urrounded by the rivers Paraná, Uruguay - that give to form and name him Guayquiraró and Mocoretá, with two great ones lomadas or blades - the one of Montiel and the Grande one that extend of North to the South, Entre Ríos one appears like a fertile plain. Towards the S.O., the Paraná river slides until finishing in a labyrinth of islands and channels, that the Delta Entrerriano constitutes. The region that today occupies the Pcia. of Entre Rios, it is an atypical case in Argentine colonial history. Its territory remained during many years depopulated of colonizadores being as soon as a geographic reference. It considers that the origin of its present capital, the city of Paraná, was a small village on the river homónimo, that was well-known with the denomination of the Bajada de Paraná, to that the one of the 23 of October of 1730 has been attributed to him like date of foundation, opportunity in which the Ecclesiastical Town hall of Buenos Aires had the erection a parish under the invocation of the Virgin of the Rosario.
The first navigator who sighted the entrerriana coast went D. Sebastian Gabotto when discovering by the end of the river Paraná in 1527. Until then the region he was populated, mainly, by the community of the guaraníes that as already it were left saying in other histories, were of a temperament combative soldier and.
Without problems of hostile natives from 1749, in the new towns Italian craftsmen and of other nationalities took root.
The present Church Cathedral is the second building raised on the same lot of the first, consisting of one ranchada that rose in 1731. In 1732 Don Francisco Aryan Montiel, who was in charge of the Curato of the Parish of Paraná, it constructed near previous a new temple, whose work is finalized in 1756.
The virreinato of the River of the Silver, was organized by Decree of the 28 of February of 1782 in eight Gobernaciones-Intendencias, whose capitals were: Buenos Aires, Asunción, Cordoba, Salta, Potosí, Cochabamba, La Paz and Charcas. To one of them, the one of Buenos Aires, the region of Entre Ríos corresponded, and its denomination is attributed to lieutenant colonel D. Tomás de Rocamora that, in a report of the 11 of August of 1782 that it directed to the virrey Vertiz and Salcedo, expressed: "...... V..asegúrese And that executed as I raise, before many years, will be the one of Entre Ríos [.. ] the best Province of this America."
When the first one Advanced to D. Pedro de Mendoza signed its capitulations with the King of Spain, a jurisdiction was attributed to him that extended from Asunción to Buenos Aires, and in which, it was including the territory that, today, corresponds to the Province of Entre Ríos.
The 10 of September of 1814, the Supreme Director of the State, D. Gervasio a de Posadas, arranged to separate of the Interior from Buenos Aires to Entre Ríos and Corrientes, erecting them in Gobernaciones with its own holders and fixing its jurisdictions.
After overcoming to D. José Gervasio de Artigas in the Tunas, the entrerriano caudillo, D. Francisco Ramirez, one prevailed in Corrientes and Misiones and proclaimed the "Republic of Entre Ríos", in 1820. Its duration ephemeral, because was defeated and died the caudillo the 10 of 1821 July with which Corrientes and Entre Ríos they recovered its individuality of provinces, the 26 of following November. Francisco Ramirez has happened to history like the "Supreme Entrerriano" because the 24 of November of 1820 were chosen in Gualeguay "Supreme Head" of because the 24 of November of 1820 were chosen in Gualeguay "Supreme Head" of the Republic of Entre Ríos (understood the present Mesopotamia:Entre Ríos, Corrientes and Misiones). Its figure, strongly combative, dominates all the turbulent and dramatic year of 1820, that the signing of the Treaty of the Pillar culminated with the triumph of the federalist ideal when accepting Buenos Aires, after the victory gained by the montonero army of Ramirez and Lopez en Cepeda. That treaty, that both takes the company/signature of caudillos and the Buenosairean governor Manuel de Sarratea, definitively constitutes the fundamental stone of the federal and republican organization of the country, adopted three decades later, when sanctioning itself the Constitution of 1853.
The establishment of Paraná like capital of the National Government, presided over by Justo José de Urquiza during the decade of 1850, favors the growth of the region. He reached the denomination of city the 26 of August of 1826. Between years 1853 and 1861, he was capital of the Argentina Confederation, constituting itself in capital of the province in 1883.  |
