Entre Ríos Province
Encyclopedia
Entre Ríos (ˈentɾe ˈri.os, Between Rivers) is a northeastern province
of Argentina
, located in the Mesopotamia
region. It borders the provinces of Buenos Aires
(south), Corrientes
(north) and Santa Fe
(west), and Uruguay
in the east.
Its capital is Paraná
(250,000 inhabitants), which lies on the Paraná River
, opposite the city of Santa Fe
.
Together with Córdoba and Santa Fe, since 1999, the province is part of the economic-political association known as the Center Region
.
The first inhabitants of the area that is now Entre Ríos were the Guaraní, Charrúa
and Chaná
, who each occupied separate parts of the region. Spaniards entered in 1520, when Rodríguez Serrano ventured up the Uruguay River searching for the Pacific Ocean
.
The first permanent Spanish settlement was erected in the current La Paz Department at the end of the 16th century. As governor of Asunción
first and then of Buenos Aires
, Hernandarias
conducted expeditions to Entre Ríos unexplored lands. Juan de Garay
, after founding Santa Fe, explored this area, which he called la otra banda ("the other bank").
However, the region remained entirely indigenous and uninhabited by European
s until a group of colonists from neighbouring Santa Fe Province settled on the Bajada del Paraná in the late seventeenth century, now the site of the provincial capital. At the same time towns appear, which we now know as Nogoyá
, Victoria
, Gualeguay
, Gualeguaychú
, Concepción del Uruguay
and Concordia
.
Tomás de Rocamora
further explored the area in 1783 under the threat of a Portuguese
invasion from Brazil, and gave official status to many of the above mentioned towns. He was also the first to refer to the region as Entre Ríos. At this stage, European settlement was minimal, though during the May Revolution
, the few colonists in the cities along the Paraná shore supported Manuel Belgrano
and his army on his way to Paraguay
.
On September 29, 1820, the leader (caudillo
) Francisco Ramírez declared the territory an autonomous entity, the Republic of Entre Ríos
. This lasted until his assassination on July 10 of the next year.
In 1853, in a meeting of all the provinces except Buenos Aires
, Paraná was elected as the capital of the Argentine Confederation
, and the leader (caudillo) Urquiza
as its first president
. The provincial capital was moved to Concepción del Uruguay. Defeated, Urquiza was elected governor of the province a few years later, while Domingo Faustino Sarmiento
became president, but he was assassinated before finishing his mandate.
Urquiza encouraged immigration through "colonization contracts", setting up many agricultural colonies
with European (mainly Volga German
s, Russians
(including Russian Jews and Poles
), Italians, Swiss and French
) settlers. According to data of the 1903 census, of the 425,373 inhabitants of the province, 153,067 were immigrants.
Its economy has long been more agricultural than the median in Argentina, comprising about 15% of output. Entre Rios' agricultural products include rice
(60% of the national production), soybean
s, wheat
, maize
, and citrus
of which it is the second biggest producer, and exporting 16% of the production mainly to Europe
.
Livestock production focuses on cattle
(4.5 million head), and in sheep production in a decreasing proportion, covering 60,000 km². The dairy industry, currently in expansion, produces almost 250 thousand ton
s per year of dairy products.
Of the national production of chickens and eggs, Entre Ríos contributes 37% of the first and 25% percent of the second. Another emerging production is honey
and its derivatives, mainly for export.
Manufacturing has a sizable presence in Entre Rios, making up another 15% of output. Its industries are mostly linked to agriculture, as in food and drinks industry and flour and rice mill
s. Other industries include timber-wood, chemical, metallurgy
, and machinery.
.

The name of the province means "between rivers". Entre Ríos is limited and traversed by many rivers and streams: the Paraná River and its delta
to the west and south; the Uruguay River
and the Mocoretá River
to the east; and the Guayquiraró River
to the north.
The weather variates form subtropical in the north to temperate
towards the Pampa
s. The annual rainfall is about 1150 mm in average, and occasional pampero
and other local winds bring storms to the area.
Two national parks
are located within the province: El Palmar National Park
and Predelta National Park
. There are also hot spring
s in several locations, especially along the basin of the Uruguay River, located in cities like Federación
, Villa Elisa
, Colón
