It has a population of 80,000 and is 20 metres above sea level. It is 2,636 km from Buenos Aires. The city sits on the estuary of the Gallegos River. The river was first sighted by a European in 1525 by the explorer Jofré De Loaiza, and was called San Idelfonso River. Simón de Alcazaba's 1535 expedition was the first to name the river 'Río Gallegos'. The area was not settled by Europeans until much later, with one of the earliest recorded indications of habitation in 1885, when the Argentine government wished to better express its sovereignty over southern Patagonia - a naval base was created which increased the development of the town. Between 1912 and 1920, the government encouraged settlers from the Falkland Islands/Islas Malvinas and southern Chile with preferential farming conditions. Some 3,000 arrived and boosted the town. As sheep-farming increased, Río Gallegos became the principal port for exporting sheep and their products. The Pioneers Museum is a preserved old Patagonian house exhibiting the life of the early settlers. In 1888, the then-governor Ramón Lista decided to move the Territorial Capital from Puerto Santa Cruz to Río Gallegos. Official ratification of this decision came on 19 May 1904. In 1957, the Territory of Santa Cruz was declared a Province, with Dr Mario Cástulo Paradelo as its first Governor. Today, Río Gallegos is an important city of the far south Argentina, with military bases and an international airport. Flights between Chile and the Falkland Islands/Islas Malvinas stop at Río Gallegos and it was from the city that Argentine troops left for the Islands in the 1982 Falklands War.
