Ita Cuara
Ita Cuara lies in the country of the Tacuarembó Chico, amid the streams and grasslands north of the Río Negro. In the early 1830s a new settlement was founded here as Villa de San Fructuoso. President Fructuoso Rivera had ordered its establishment in 1831, and his nephew, Colonel Bernabé Rivera, laid out the town the following year near an existing hamlet.
