Buenos Aires Province is the largest of the provinces into which Argentina is divided, both by area, at about 307,571 square kilometres, and by population, at 15,625,084 residents in the census of 27 October 2010. Its capital is La Plata, and it should not be confused with the autonomous city of Buenos Aires, which is counted separately from the provinces. The name means good winds, and the place was formerly called Nuestra Señora Santa Maria de los Buenos Aires, after the Virgin Mary, whom sailors in Seville revered as their protectress. Most Argentine provinces are subdivided into departments, but Buenos Aires is instead divided into partidos. Its territory includes Isla Martín García, an island in the Río de la Plata estuary that is surrounded by Uruguayan waters.
