A Look at El Jagüel's History
El Jagüel started to form when a real estate company divided and developed land in the 1950s. Back then, it was mostly open fields with very few houses. In 1954, many people bought plots of land and built their homes there. Life was simple, with minimal comforts. There were no schools or streetlights. Residents had to rely on the Monte Grande and Ezeiza train stations, which were the closest ones.
Things started to improve in 1957 when the neighborhood got electricity. Soon after, a new train station was built for the Roca Line. This line connected Constitución to Ezeiza. Having its own train station made it much easier for people to move to El Jagüel. It also helped the city grow and become more successful.
