Neuquén is the capital of the Neuquén Province in Argentina . It was founded in 1904 and, with around 231,780 inhabitants, is the largest city in southern Argentina. Together with the cities of Plottier and Cipolletti ( province of Río Negro ) it forms the important agglomeration Neuquén - Plottier - Cipolletti with 345,097 inhabitants, which is also called the "capital of Comahue ".
It is located at the confluence of the Río Limay and the Río Neuquén to the Río Negro , in the east of the province, in the north of Patagonia . It is considered a center of the oil and natural gas industry . As a regional cultural center, it has the State University of Comahue (UNC) as well as museums and theaters. Neuquén is also the seat of the Roman Catholic diocese of Neuquén .
name of the city
The small settlement, which was initially known as the place of confluence because of the confluence of the Río Neuquen and the Río Limay, was named Neuquén after the provincial capital was transferred from Chos Malal to the region. It was named after the river of the same name. The name comes from the Mapudungun vocabulary Ñedquén , which means brave, arrogant and daring.
geography
location
The city is located at the confluence of the Río Limay and Río Neuquén to the Río Negro , an average of 260 meters above sea level, in the middle of a fertile, partially irrigated valley in southwest Argentina. The flow of rivers is regulated by a system of dikes. The discharge of the Río Limay is about 650 m³ / s and that of the Río Neuquén about 280 m³ / s.
Neuquén extends over two geographical regions: the plateau and the valley . The area north of the railway line on the plateau is called El Alto and the southern area, which is the urban financial and commercial center, is called El Bajo because of its flat topography . At the transition from the plateau to the valley, the landscape is characterized by steep slopes, which were formed by wind and water erosion and are called Barda in the region . The environment is steppe-like and harsh, the climate is continental temperate and dry. The soil consists of clay and pebbles .
The city is located in the Departamento Confluencia and is the easternmost place in the province. It belongs to the Alto Valle region (upper valley of the Río Negro). It borders in the east on Cipolletti in Río Negro and in the west on Plottier, with which it forms the agglomeration Neuquén - Plottier - Cipolletti. Other important nearby towns are General Roca in Río Negro (about 50 km east), Centenario (15 km north) and the small municipality of Senillosa (about 33 km west).
City structure
The first city map was drawn in 1904 by the founder Bouquet Roldán. After the railroad construction, the Buenos Aires Great Southern Railway company divided the city into two sectors called El Alto in the north and El Bajo in the south. Although the city division only lasted until 1930, both parts can still be recognized. While the provincial and city administration as well as the financial institutions are located in the Alto , El Bajo is a shopping and trading center.
The urban area covers an area of 63 square kilometers and is divided into 46 districts:

history
.JPG)
The first Spanish conquistadors came to the region around 1500. In 1604, the governor of the province of Buenos Aires Hernando Arias de Saavedra decided to explore the roads to Patagonia. The expedition reached the banks of the Río Negro. After being attacked by the local indigenous people, she was forced to return to Buenos Aires.
In 1783 the explorer Vasilio Villarino sailed through the Río Negro from Carmen de Patagones to the area of today's Neuquén. He suggested to the authorities of the Spanish colonial government at that time to build a fort there against the Indians, but this did not materialize in the end.
In 1833 a military expedition was sent to what is now Neuquén by Juan Manuel de Rosas , the then governor of Buenos Aires, with the support of landlords from his province and the provinces of Córdoba , San Luis , San Juan and Mendoza . This could not extend the Argentine dominance beyond the borders of the time.
Before the desert campaign , the Mapuche routes to Chile ran through the area. Between 1878 and 1880, General Julio Argentino Roca carried out the so-called desert campaign, with which he ensured the Argentine dominance over Patagonia . When the series of military campaigns ended, the area was connected to the telegraph network. At the end of the 19th decade, the area around the source of the Río Negro was not only considered a transition point to Chile, but also a good location to found a city. At that time the first settlers came by boat on the Río Negro and the first houses were built.
The British company Buenos Aires Great Southern Railway built the railway bridge over the Río Neuquén and the Neuquén station in 1902, where a small settlement already existed at that time. No concrete date of foundation is known, but in 1904 the capital of the province of Chos Malal was relocated here, where a small town that had developed spontaneously was already located. Although the decision not to move the provincial capital near the border with Chile was criticized for geopolitical reasons, the city later became a major commercial hub between Buenos Aires, the province and Chile.
Since it was founded in 1904, the city has started to grow. Four years later, the first city council was elected. In 1916 the water supply system was built and the first street lights were installed. By the 1920s, most of the provincial administrative activities were carried out in the city. The province's population was concentrated in the area. At that time, the nearby rural settlements of Plottier and Senillosa were founded. In 1937 the first car bridge was built between Neuquén and Cipolleti over the Río Neuquén. Due to the oil and gas sources discovered in the province by the YPF company in the 1960s , the city gained in importance. In 1970 the UNC - Comahue State University was opened.
population
Before the arrival of the Spanish conquerors, the region was inhabited by the Mapuche and Tehuelche . During the desert campaign, the Argentine army decimated the indigenous population and the first non-Indian settlers came to the region. In the early 20th century, migrants came from Europe (mostly Spaniards and Italians) and, to a lesser extent, from Syria and Lebanon. Towards the end of the century, the city received a wave of migration from Chile and the northern provinces of Argentina. At the beginning of the 21st century, Bolivian and Paraguayan immigration to the region grew . There are also some Mapuche and Tehuelche communities in Neuquén. Today it is the largest city in Patagonia.
Population development
Before the provincial capital was moved to Neuquén, around 500 people lived in the region. The number increased to 1400 by 1905. Since its foundation in 1904, the city has grown steadily. In 1930 the city had around 5000 inhabitants. Since the discovery of petroleum and natural gas wells in the province, it has had a major increase in population from the second half of the 20th century and was the fastest growing city in Argentina between the 1970s and the 1980s. In 1970 45,140 people lived in Neuquén. By the next census, this number doubled to 92,047. In 1991 it had 167,296 inhabitants. According to the 2010 census, around 231,780 people lived in Neuquén, 42.3% of the province's population.

Religions
Most of the city's residents belong to a Christian denomination. Although the largest group belongs to the Roman Catholic Church , the number of followers of the Protestant churches increased in the late 2000s . While there were 52 Roman Catholic churches in 2009, there were around 250 Protestant temples of various sizes and significance. The remaining are members of the free Christian churches, Jehovah's Witnesses, or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints . Other smaller groups are Jews and Buddhists .
Since 1961 Neuquén has been the seat of the Diocese of Neuquén , which is subordinate to the Archdiocese of Mendoza as a suffragan .
Living situation
The construction industry saw a huge boom in the late 1990s and 2000s, as large supermarkets, cinemas, shopping malls, and new residential and office buildings were built to shape the urban landscape. Projects such as the embankment promenade on the island 132 of the Río Limay or the construction of the Portal de la Patagonia and Irsa shopping centers were planned, started or carried out at this time.
Middle-class residential areas can be found in most of the city. The upper class lives mainly in upmarket residential areas such as the Country Clubs Rincón de Campo or Comahue Golf Club , the historic center and in the areas near the Río Limay. Around the airport there are still agricultural areas, the residents of which belong to different socio-economic classes. Among them there are independent farmers, small entrepreneurs and large landowners.
In isolated areas to the south and more recently to the west of the city are marginal settlements known in the region as Tomas . Their residents live in precarious conditions and in some cases have no electricity or water supply. Although the city government is trying to improve the situation with newly built residential areas such as Cuenca Batilana in the north, many people still live on an informal basis who cannot find affordable housing because of the high rents.
The western part of the city has the highest crime rate.
politics
In 1904 Neuquén was named provincial capital. The provincial government archives as well as the officials were transferred from Chos Malal to Neuquén. The City Council ( Concejo Municipal ) was founded on December 12, 1905. The first election took place on March 11, 1906.
In the city there are various provincial authorities such as the Government Palace (seat of the provincial administration), the Supreme Court of the province and the provincial parliament ( Honorable Legislatura del Neuquén ). It is also the headquarters of the only significant independent political party in the province of Movimiento Popular Neuquino . Various nationally active parties have local branches in the city.
The town hall has been the seat of the city administration since the 1960s. The mayor (Intendente) is directly elected in Neuquén for a regular term of four years and can then be re-elected once. The legislature is exercised by the City Council (Concejo Deliberante). The city council consists of 18 members whose term of office is four years. The municipal constitution (Carta Órganica) was introduced on August 9, 1995. Criminal justice is administered by the provincial and federal courts. The District Court (Tribunal de Faltas) is responsible for minor criminal cases such as traffic violations, irregularities in building permits and permits for business openings.
flag
The city flag is light blue with two white wavy ribbons symbolizing the confluence of the Neuquén and Limay rivers. It is the city's first flag. The Confluencia design by local artist and architect Carlos Alberto Juárez, chosen in an open competition, dates from September 12, 2010, when it was hoisted for the 106th anniversary of the city.
Town twinning
Town partnerships exist for:
Economy and Infrastructure
Neuquén is the largest city in southern Argentina and the administrative, financial, economic, and commercial center of the province.

The city is also the seat of the provincial company Gas y Petróleo del Neuquén . Other areas of importance in the region are construction and services.
Thanks to the irrigation system, it is possible to grow fruit in the region. Since the 1930s it established itself as an important fruit-growing area. Apple and pear production in the upper valley of the Río Negros represents more than half of Argentina's fruit exports. Although there had been vineyards in the province for decades, they only achieved economic success after the Bodega del Fin del Mundo was founded in San Patricio del Chañar in 1996. Wine is grown in artificially irrigated fields near the city, and its importance increased in the late 2000s. The Mercado Concentrador Neuquén (Neuquén Central Market) sells fruit and vegetables from different parts of the province or the country. The port of San Antonio Oeste on the Golfo San Matías serves as an export port for regional products .
A diversified industry settled in Neuquén. Most of the companies are located in the business park opened in the 1970s in the north of the city. The main industries are mainly huts -, wood and ceramics industries. The main branch of the provincial bank Banco Provincia del Neuquén was opened in 1960 at 45 Avenida Argentina and has been its headquarters ever since.
