La Lucila
La Lucila is a neighborhood in Vicente López Partido, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. The community is a suburb in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area.
It has a light railway station (La Lucila) on the Retiro-Tigre line - north on the line is Martínez and south is Olivos. It is also close to the Tren de la Costa.
The name comes from a large mansion that was named for the owner's wife. He was teniente coronel Alfredo F. de Urquiza and his wife was named Lucila Marcelina Anchorena de Urquiza.[circular reference]
La Lucila borders the locality of Martínez to the north (Paraná Street, which is also the boundary of the partido), and the neighborhood of Olivos to the west (Avenida Maipú) and to the south (Roma Street), and the Río de la Plata to the east.
La Lucila is located 12 km north of the City of Buenos Aires. It covers an area of 1.6 km² (160 hectares). In 2001, it had a population of 12,222 inhabitants (INDEC, 2001); this figure made it the 8th neighborhood of the partido, with 4.5% of its population. In 1991, 13,528 people were registered, indicating a population decrease of almost 10%.
During the first English invasion, a military battery was set up at Punta de los Olivos to protect the coast, in what is now La Lucila.
At the beginning of the 20th century, large subdivisions and land auctions began. Between Avenida Libertador and the Mitre Railroad tracks, the first residences of aristocratic Buenos Aires families were built, who chose La Lucila as a place to rest outside of Buenos Aires.
One of the first residences was the luxurious mansion called "La Lucila," owned by Lieutenant Colonel Alfredo F. de Urquiza. Construction began in 1912 and it was inaugurated in 1915. He named it La Lucila in honor of his wife, Lucila Marcelina Anchorena de Urquiza, who died two years later.
