  ## History
  
  On November 13, 1864 the commune was created by Manuel Obligado (es). Originally, the town was built near a fort. The commune gets its name from General Olmos, who was an assistant of Manuel Obligado.
  
  Starting in 1964, the closure of La Forestal (es), and the lack of drinkable water has slowed down the growth of Fortin Olmos. Currently, the main industry in Fortin Olmos is Cattle raising.
