Laprida Partido is a partido in central Buenos Aires Province in Argentina.
The provincial subdivision has a population of about 9,600 inhabitants in an area of 33400NaN0. Its capital city is Laprida, 4800NaN0 from Buenos Aires on the Ferrocarril General Roca railway line to Olavarría and on provincial routes RP 51, RP 75, RP 76 and RP 86. It sits on fertile pampas land, and its main economy is agriculture.
It is named after Francisco Narciso Laprida, president of the Congreso de Tucumán, and co-signer of Argentina's Independence Declaration in 1816.
Laprida's climate is humid-temperate, with an average temperature of 22°C in summer (average max. 30°C), and 6°C in winter (average min. 1°C), with an annual mean of 14°C.
Relative humidity is 60%, with the most humid month being July with 67%, and the driest in December at 50%.
The area is catalogued as subhumid-dry, with a record high yearly precipitation in 1980 at 12681NaN1 (although this record was beaten 2006), annual monthly media of 881NaN1 with a tendency to reach 9001NaN1 (8581NaN1 in 1996).
During dry cycles, the wet season is summer, with March being the wettest month at 1061NaN1 of precipitation and August being the driest month with an average of 321NaN1. During humid cycles, the wet season moves to the end of spring (October and November).
Laprida Partido is on an extended plain with low wavy terrain in areas, and no rivers or streams, but with a few small lakes and no flooding areas. The soil is mainly alkaline with low permeability and low vegetation, and is apt for agriculture.
It sits on Pampa Deprimida ("low pampas"), from the Río Salado, but in a higher topographic zone, along with the Partidos of General Lamadrid and Benito Juárez.
The Basques have been an important immigration group since the foundation of the partido and the city, working mainly in agriculture and cattle raising, commerce and services.[1]
