 * The root of the cholera epidemics was that the cemeteries of the city were overflowed, so the municipal government then acquired seven hectares in the Chacarita de los Colegiales and created a new cemetery that would move in 1886 to the current Chacarita.
 * The comunas of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires were established on 09/01/2005.
