A view of San Martín square as seen from the local bus station.
The town had its beginnings in 1898, when a group of Christian, Seventh-day Adventist immigrants arrived in Entre Ríos province with the aim of opening a new school to teach agriculture and theology.[3] From 1909 until the late 1960s, trains were an important means of transport, with the Puiggari train station being the main hub used by people travelling to and from Libertador. This is the reason Libertador San Martín is known today also as "Puiggari".[3]
