[1] At slightly more than 30,000 inhabitants, it is a prominent residential area, with numerous cobbled streets, lush trees and several squares.

In March 1873, Governor Mariano Acosta approved the projected sketch map for this town and named it Almirante Brown.

[2] Adrogué was also the place of residence of some well-known families of British origin, including the high officials of the railroads.

[7] Jorge Luis Borges, an Argentine writer, spent many childhood summers there and loved the city so much that he named a book of poems after it in dedication.

The city is named after its founder, Esteban Adrogué, who also founded Lomas de Zamora and donated lands for the establishment of the train station, town hall, main square and other important buildings.

Some years later, a 10-screen Cinemark complex was built at the Boulevard Shopping mall, a fact that allowed the city to have local theaters again.
