Rivadavia Partido

Rivadavia Partido is an administrative division in the northwest of Buenos Aires Province, with América serving as its main administrative center. The territory spans flat terrain well-suited for ranching and includes several smaller towns distributed across its area.

The partition was established in 1910 through provincial legislation as part of a broader regional reorganization. Its development became closely tied to the growth of ranching operations and the changing needs of the settled areas.

Cattle raising has deep roots here, and the territory became known for wintering livestock during colder months. This agricultural way of life shapes how locals relate to their land and forms part of their regional identity.

The territory is mainly rural and connected by roads linking its various towns and communities. Visitors should expect larger distances between settlements compared to urban areas.

The region received official recognition in 1969 as a center for cattle wintering, reflecting a practice that was already long established. This honor marked the acknowledgment of an economic activity that had defined the area for generations.
