Croatian Uruguayans comprise Croat migrants to Uruguay and their descendants.
The first Croats reached the Río de la Plata region during the second half of the 18th century; the biggest inflow of immigrants was mostly during the first half of the 20th century.[1] They established their own institutions, such as the Croatian Home.[2]
According to UN estimates there are some 3,300 people of Croat descent living in Uruguay. Other estimates place the figure at around 5,000.[3]
In 2006 Eduardo R. Antonich published the monograph "Croatia and Croats in Uruguay".[4]
