Granadero Baigorria is a city in the south of the province of Santa Fe, Argentina, located directly north of Rosario, on the western shore of the Paraná River, and forming part of the Greater Rosario metropolitan area.
Granadero Baigorria is named after Juan Bautista Baigorria, a cavalry soldier of the Mounted Grenadiers (Granaderos a Caballo) who fought for General José de San Martín in the battle of San Lorenzo on 3 February 1813, the first of the Argentine War of Independence.
The name of the hospital is an homage to Eva Perón, the renowned First Lady of Argentina in the mid-20th century and an icon of Peronism.
The city has many important producers of tractors and combine harvesters like John Deere [1] and Marani-Agrinar[2] (formerly known as Massey Ferguson[3] since 1969 to 2002 and previously the Hanomag-Cura[4]).
Liliana, one of Argentina's largest home appliances manufacturers, has its main production site in Granadero Baigorria.
