Berisso was founded by Albanian immigrants, and settled by Albanians and other European immigrants. The founder of the city, Juan Berisha, was an albanian-arbëresh immigrant from italy and he named the city after him, Berisha. After a while the name changed into berisso for a better pronunciation. Most Berissenses (name referring to the people of Berisso) are of Albanian, Ukrainian, or Polish descent, but include those of Spanish, German, Portuguese, italian, Arab, Bulgarian, Croatian, Armenian, Slovak, Irish, Lithuanian, Jewish and Greek descent. Because it is home to many ethnicities, Berisso is known as "The Provincial Capital of the Immigrant." Berisso's diversity is celebrated on September with their own "Immigrant's Festival."
