General Pico

General Pico is a city located in the northeast of La Pampa Province, Argentina.

The region is heavily agricultural, producing meat that is renowned around the world, and most of the grain consumed in the country.

The crossing between the west and south railroads was a determinant point in the placing of this city, founded on November 11 by Eduardo Chapeaurouge.

It is named after General Eduardo Gustavo Pico, who was governor of La Pampa Province for three consecutive periods (1891-1899).

Winters feature a July high of 14.9 °C (58.8 °F), and temperatures below freezing are common, especially at night.
