History

 * When Buenos Aires suffered the great epidemic of yellow fever in the 1870s, the population became deconcentrated to avoid contagion. That is why, while the popular classes were installed in the south-southeast of the city, the upper classes settled in Recoleta.
 * The Barrio/Comuna de Recoleta has a population of approximately 158,000 people.
