Nicolás Descalzi is a rural area in Coronel Dorrego Partido, in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Location
[edit]It is located 46 km northeast of the city of Coronel Dorrego through a rural road.[1]
History and population
[edit]The opening of the railway station of the Juan E. Barra - Coronel Dorrego Branch of the Ferrocarril del Sud in 1929 led to the formation of the town. The subsequent closure of the railway services in 1961 caused the population decline.[2]
In the Argentine censuses of 2001 and 2010, it was counted as a dispersed rural population.
Namesake
[edit]The area gets its name from Nicolás Descalzi, an Italian-Argentine explorer.[3]
