Pilar, Buenos Aires
Pilar is a city in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. It is part of the Greater Buenos Aires urban conurbation and is the seat of the administrative division of Pilar Partido. It is located about 51 km northwest of downtown Buenos Aires. As of the 2022 Census, the city had a population of nearly 52,000.
Originally located on the flood-prone banks of the Luján River, the small town of Pilar and its chapel were relocated to their current site in the 1800s. Pilar was the site of the signing of the Treaty of Pilar in 1820, a foundational document that is one of "pre-existing pacts" of the Constitution of Argentina and laid the foundation for Argentina's federal system of government.
Since the 1990s, Pilar has undergone a demographic transformation fueled by the development of gated communities within and around the city limits. In recent decades, as the administrative center of Pilar Partido, the city has diversified its economy, supported by neighbouring industries and a growing service sector in the district. As a result, Pilar has solidified its position as a development hub on the outskirts of Greater Buenos Aires.
The rural outpost that later became Pilar was first assigned a local authority in 1774 with the appointment of Ventura López Camelo as its first alcalde, or mayor.
Pilar was originally located next to the Luján River. After frequent floods, was requested in the 1800s to relocate the small town and chapel on higher land (its current location).
Pilar is the site where the Treaty of Pilar was signed on February 23, 1820, establishing the basis for Argentine federalism, as a result of which the city of Pilar is acknowledged as the "Cradle of National Federalism." This Treaty marked the end of the war between the League of Free Peoples formed by the provinces of Entre Ríos and Santa Fe against Buenos Aires.
The Parish of Our Lady of the Pillar was consecrated in 1856, and the partido (county) of Pilar was established in 1864, its first municipal mayor being Tomás Márquez.
A Buenos Aires and Pacific Railway line, its first, reached the town in 1886, and by 1895 nearly 10,000 inhabitants lived in Pilar. The opening of National Route 8 in 1934 eased the 58 kilometres (36 mi) commute to Buenos Aires, and Pilar subsequently became a growing commuter town.
