History

Founded on 3 February 1884, Conesa is the most important town of the towns that make up San Nicolás de los Arroyos Partido, it is located 37 km from said city and 42 km from the city of Pergamino. It had two names: "Pueblo Ibarra", honoring one of the first settlers, Don Miguel Ibarra, and "General Conesa", which was the name of the railway station. The Western Railway gave him the necessary boost to survive. Once the railway station was installed, the formation of the population began. At the beginning of the century it had some important businesses such as the firm Bustinz Osinaga & Cia. -San Nicolás branch- with a warehouse, store, hardware store, wooden corral, and agricultural machines; the Miranda y Torroba house with a general branch business; Genovio Ledezma, with coffee, billiards, and hair salons; José Irujo, with an inn, cafe, confectionery and store; José Subiza, grain and fruit collector; the suppliers Clementino Del Pozo and Albino Grisetti; Juan Toneguzzo, dedicated to masonry works; Emilio Vogliano, with restaurant; the Azcorra and Camou fuel warehouse; Alejandro Chambón's bakery, and other merchants such as Juan Perazzo, Germán Rodríguez and Ángel Peri. Saturnino and Dámaso Insaurralde, the latter owner of the historic ranch "La Esperanza", and the brothers Juan and Ramón Altolaguirre, were the first landowners who, together with others, worked their lands, contributing to the progress of the town.

On 25 December 1910, a large division of land (122 lots) owned by Ángel Francisco Robert was carried out, which was the first major land auction, expanding the town of Conesa, and thus giving rise to the "Pueblo Nuevo" neighborhood.
