Nogoya

Nogoyá grew beside the stream of the same name in the rolling interior between the Paraná and Uruguay rivers. Settlers were present near a crossing by about 1760. In 1782 the priest Fernando Andrés Quiroga y Taboada established a chapel dedicated to Nuestra Señora del Carmen for the inhabitants, and a settlement developed around it. The stream gives its Indigenous name to the place and flows through the wider Gualeguay basin.

The later city of Paraná lies here.
