from the history of the place we can mention the "posta paso mayor" which was a place where travellers could have their tired horses changed for fresh ones. this place was owned by one local man called laporte. he also owned a "pulperia" a kind of supermarket which majored in selling hides and skins as well as liquor. this "posta" and "pulperia" with the arrival of the railroad were greatly affected, since the wagons and carriages replaced the horses. and with transportation made easy, trading of hides and skins also moved to another level. the "pulperia became a grocery store until it finally closed in the 30's.
