History The town was founded on December 25, 1889 by the lawyer Miguel Malarín. The focal point of the settlement was the Malarín family home, called Villa Aurora, after the mother of the founder, Aurora Saint-Sauveur. The name of the town was also a homage to her, as San Salvador is the Spanish literal translation of the French surname Saint-Sauveur. Colonists brought agriculture to the area (wheat, linseed, corn, sunflower, and later sorghum). Rice crops were planted first in 1932 and became popular, spreading to the whole province.
