Name

History

Rail service began in the area in 1902 under what is now the Ferrocarril General San Martin, and a town began to develop around it.[2] Arribeños is considered to have been founded on November 13, 1904. Rail service ended in the 1990s.[3]
In recent years, the water and sewage system in the town has been modernized through a government project.[4]
