Historia

1527 - Don Sebastián Gaboto, discoverer of the lands that are now the Exaltación de la Cruz Partido, baptizes the Paraná de las Palmas river as such on Palm Sunday that year, to exist in its banks profusion of palm trees and palms which were used in that celebration.

1536 - Don Pedro de Mendoza founded the city of Buenos Aires for the first time.

1580 - Don Juan de Garay, from Asunción of the Paraguay, founded Buenos Aires for the second time to reaffirm the rights of the Spanish Crown against Lusitanians expansionist intentions. One of the measures to implement this territorial defense is the distribution of lands or lots of small farms, making the 24 October of the same year between 25 neighbors who had accompanied him in the final founding of Buenos Aires. In 1580, near to the second foundation of Buenos Aires, the fields of the partido used to make up "Pago de la Cañada de la Cruz".

1614 - The Compañía de Jesús is established on lands of present districts of Exaltación de la Cruz and Zárate, initiating livestock resource exploitation and control of the goods from the north. In addition to the small farm production, the Jesuits founded a harbor and a school.
