Santa Fe Province, Province in northeastern Argentina
Description
Santa Fe is a first-level administrative division in northeastern Argentina that stretches from the Paraná River in the east to the dry plains in the west. The landscape consists of wide lowland plains, agricultural areas, scattered marshlands, and subtropical dry forests in the northwest that shape the overall character of the region.
History
The province gained autonomy in 1816, after Sebastian Cabot established the first European settlement, the Sancti Spiritus fort, in 1527. This early outpost was destroyed two years later, but subsequent colonization eventually led to the present administrative entity.
Culture
Manufacturing facilities, agricultural cooperatives, and educational institutions like the National University of the Littoral shape the industrial and academic landscape of Santa Fe Province.
Practical
The province is accessible through river ports in Villa Constitución, Rosario, San Lorenzo, and Santa Fe that enable transportation of goods. These port towns connect the interior to the Atlantic and also serve as reference points for travelers exploring the region.
Did you know?
A road tunnel measuring 2393 meters connects Santa Fe city to Paraná city in Entre Ríos beneath the river. This tunnel makes crossing the regional waterways easier and significantly reduces travel time between the two shores.
