Croatians in Argentina
Demographics
Croatians in Argentina number 440,000 [1].
History
At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries there were 133 settlements, with some 150,000 Croatians in Argentina, for the most part hailing from the coastal regions of Dalmatia and Hrvatsko primorje, who were among the first European immigrants to settle in the Argentinean pampas. The pioneers from the island of Hvar were followed by emigrants from other parts of Dalmatia, and the other historic Croatian lands, more precisely the present day Republic of Croatia [2].
The most successful of all the Croats in Argentina was also almost the first to arrive here - Nikola Mihanovic came to Montevideo in 1867 (Major Jakov Buratovic arrived here earlier in the same decade).
The second wave of Croat immigration was far more numerous, totalling 15,000 by 1939. Mostly peasants, these immigrants fanned out to work the land in Buenos Aires province, Santa Fe, Chaco and Patagonia [3].
