The Arbilla Post is a sector of the La Florida estate[1][2] located in the valley of Laguna del Desierto[3][4] where the homonymous outpost of Carabineros de Chile was established, belonging to the Lago O'Higgins detachment. On November 6, 1965, Lieutenant Hernán Merino Correa died in a clash with the Argentine National Gendarmerie during the Laguna del Desierto dispute between the two countries.[5][6][7][8][9]
Currently, near the location of the events, there is a place called "Sovereignty Square" with signs recounting the events.
Etymology
[edit]The name comes from the fact that the place was owned by the Argentine settler Ricardo Arbilla.[10]
