History
The founder of Villa Urquiza was Francisco Seeber who was a soldier in the War of the Triple Alliance against Paraguay, mayor of Buenos Aires between 1889 and 1890, merchant and president of Ferrocarril Oeste (Western Railroads company). In its beginnings, the barrio was composed by three small neighborhoods called Villa Catalinas, Villa Mazzini and Villa Modelo. The neighborhoods were situated on top of highlands, almost 40 meters above sea level.At the time, Francisco Seeber owned a company downtown called "Muelle de las Catalinas" (Catalinas' Wharfs), located at very low ground. So he bought the lands so much of them could be used to refill his company downtown.The workers that had worked on the project were mostly from the province of Entre Rios. And subsequently, they asked for the neighborhood to be named after their provincial hero, Justo José de Urquiza.
