About the district

The District of Lobería (18,243 inhabitants in 2022) is located in southern Buenos Aires Province, on the Atlantic coast.

The district was named after its capital city. The city's name comes from the letter that Juan de Garay sent to the King of Spain in 1582, conveying his amazement at the existence of large herds of sea lions (lobos marinos) in the region of present-day Cape Corrientes.
