Santa Rosa

Santa Rosa is a city in the Argentine Pampas and the capital of La Pampa Province, lying in the east of the province on the shore of the Don Tomas Lagoon at the intersection of National Routes 5 and 35. The city has a population of 94,340, and its surroundings hold 102,610 inhabitants, around a third of the province's population. It was founded in 1892 by Tomas Mason and did not develop into a significant agricultural center until the second half of the 20th century, remaining one of the smallest provincial capitals in the country after the Patagonian capitals of Rawson, Ushuaia and Viedma.
