History

Haumonia started as a town built around the logging industry. It was connected to a big company called La Forestal. This company used to cut down trees for wood.

The town once had two railway lines. One line went towards Charadai and Santa Sylvina. The other line went towards Villa Berthet. These railways helped transport the wood. Today, both railway lines are no longer used. There was a plan to give these lines to another railway system, the General Manuel Belgrano Railway.

After a while, all the trees and natural resources in the area were used up. Because there was no more wood to cut, La Forestal company left the town. When the company left, many people who lived and worked in Haumonia also moved away.
