History

There is a discrepancy regarding the date of foundation, being situated between 1892 and 1893, for which reason the year 1894 in which the layout was approved is taken as the date of foundation. The foundation of San Antonio is due to Eduardo Saguier's desire to found a colony, for which he appointed Juan Beapuy as administrator. In 1903 the commune was established. It is estimated that the name of the locality is due to the founder's devotion to Saint Anthony of Padua.[1] It is a dairy production area.[2] In 2003, the drinking water network was inaugurated.[3] It has a sports institution.[4]
