M any times the street where you live or work, although the name seems familiar, the origin or reason of it may be unknown. In general, at least in Buenos Aires, the names of the streets are not only heroes but also characters that took historical facts, but whose biography is completely ignored. Or battles long forgotten, not even mentioned in school. Each nomination also reflects a context, linked most often with the official power shift, but in other cases the names are due to tradition, custom and usage, ie as the locals mentioned a site with persistence in time. Briefly
may be mentioned that since 1580, with the founding of Juan de Garay, the only name is "Plaza Mayor". Over time, the first classification is related to a fundamental part of the city, that history could be ashamed, but that circumstances seem to have led to something else that is not contraband. This happens in 1734. The names are mostly related to Catholic saints and public buildings of the era, while others were designated by the name of an important neighbor. The aim was the identification of neighbors.
In 1808 many streets were changed to the names of the heroes of the Reconquista and defense against the British invasion. For 1822 another transformation of nomenclature in the center of the city refers to some battles, regions and countries, which many of them remain today (Maipú, Chacabuco, Venezuela, Peru). [1]
