Federación, Municipality in Entre Ríos Province, Argentina.
Federación sits along the Uruguay River and borders the Salto Grande Dam reservoir. The town spreads at an elevation of about 46 meters above sea level along this waterfront.
The settlement began in 1777 as a ranch called Mandisoví and had to relocate due to dam construction. The entire city was rebuilt at its current location between 1974 and 1979.
The town hosts regular local gatherings, particularly a craft beer festival where nearby breweries and residents come together to celebrate.
The town has good access and orientation for visitors exploring the riverbank area. The waterfront is most inviting during warmer months for walking and observing the landscape.
The town relocated and rebuilt itself completely within just two years to prevent flooding from the dam project. This rapid resettlement effort remains an unusual example of community adaptation in the region.
