Summary

This article describes the process that brought about the foundation, in ; 1890, of a colony called "Portugalete", in the north of the province of Santa Fe ; (Argentina). This foundation is registered within the process of conquest and ; occupation of the indigenous lands in the Chaco region, in the last quarter of the ; 19th century. This denomination, together with those of the neighbouring colonies ; of Santurce, Algorta and San Cristobal, was due to the fact that this zone was ; colonised by Cristobal de Murrieta bank, from London, which had its origins in ; Biscay.
