history
Itauguá was founded on June 27, 1728 by Governor Martín de Barúa Picazza under the name Nuestra Señora del Rosario de Itauguá . Before the official founding of the town, there were indigenous people in simple huts, called tapyi , on the Itay stream. These residents were called in groups to work in Asunción for a while and then return to their huts. They were paid for in kind and in clothing. In 1761 the place had about 1,000 inhabitants, mainly Guaraníes . In 1795 there were already 2,235 people living there. Immigrants from Europe and the Middle East joined them in the early 20th century. The district remained underdeveloped for a long time. Electricity was not introduced until 1972, cobbled streets from 1975 and running drinking water in 1980. In 1991 the Gran Hospital Nacional Hospital opened.
