History

Formosa was founded in 1879 by Jorge Luis Fontana.

He was born in Buenos Aires on 19th April 1846. At age thirteen, Fontana entered the

Military Command of Río Negro as a trainee; he later fought in the Paraguayan War.

After the war he lived in Buenos Aires, he studied natural sciences, astronomy, and

physics.

In 1879 he founded the city of Formosa, and he was awarded the rank of lieutenant

colonel.

The lands were initially inhabited by Toba and Wichí (Mataco) aboriginals. On April 8,

1879 Commander Luis Jorge Fontana founded the settlement that would become the

capital of the National Territory of Chaco from 1884 to June 15, 1955, when bringing the

status of province.

The name of the city (and the province)

comes from the archaic Spanish word

fermosa (currently Hermosa) meaning

"beautiful". The name Vuelta Fermosa or

Vuelta la Formosa was used by Spanish

sailors in the 16th century to describe the

area where the Paraguay River makes a

turn, right in front of the actual city.

Formosa today

The city is a few hundred meters away from Paraguay across the river. It has a culture closer Paraguayan. The city's well-known cultural institutions include the Formosa Regional Historical Museum, the Juan Pablo Duffard Historical Museum, the Qom Toba Artisanal Museum, and the Oscar Albertazzi Arts Institute.

The city has many beautiful places for tourists. Formosa has an international hotel like, the Howard Johnson Neo Formosa, with a casino and shopping gallery.

Formosa celebrate festivals like Nuestra Señora del Carmen on 16th July in honor of its holy day.

It also celebrates festivals of the “El Pomelo”, “La Covina” and “Carnival”.
