Fontezuela is a town located in the Pergamino Partido in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
History
The town received its name from a military uprising which occurred in 1815, known as the Fontezuela Uprising. In the 1970s, a cereal plant was constructed in the town, which provided a major boost to the local economy.[2] Many utilities in Fontezuela, including water and natural gas, were only recently constructed.[3]
The Fontezuela model field, designed to test modern farming techniques and plant hybrids, was constructed outside of the town in 1947 by Bayer, a German company. The facility currently employs over 300 people.[4][5]
Population
According to INDEC, which collects population data for the country, the town had a population of 253 people as of the 2001 census.[1]
