Virrey del Pino, Industrial locality in La Matanza Partido, Argentina.
Virrey del Pino is a locality in La Matanza Partido, in the southwestern part of the Buenos Aires metropolitan area, in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. It is a mainly residential area with local shops, basic services, and a small administrative structure spread along its main streets.
The area was gradually settled during the 20th century, as Buenos Aires expanded southwestward and rural land was converted into residential plots. Over time, a local administration and basic infrastructure took shape to serve the growing number of residents.
The place takes its name from Joaquín del Pino, a Spanish viceroy who governed the Río de la Plata region in the early 1800s. His name lives on in everyday life here, even though few visible traces of that colonial past remain in the streets today.
The locality is reachable by road from Buenos Aires heading southwest, and buses connect it to the wider metropolitan network. Most local shops and services are concentrated along the main streets, so getting around on foot is manageable once you are in the center.
A large production facility belonging to a well-known soft drink company operates within the locality, giving this otherwise residential area a noticeable industrial side. For many people living nearby, this factory is one of the main sources of local employment.
