Vicente López is located 20 kilometers north of downtown Buenos Aires and 80 kilometers north of the city of La Plata, the provincial capital. The partido incorporates several smaller neighborhoods, including Olivos, Florida and La Lucila with a total estimated population of 269,420. Its 33 km²[2] makes Vicente López the smallest partido in the Buenos Aires Province and the second smallest municipality in Argentina.
The partido's name honors Vicente López y Planes, an Argentine writer and politician, author of the lyrics of the Argentine National Anthem, governor of Buenos Aires province (after the fall of Juan Manuel de Rosas) and then President of Argentina succeeding Bernardino Rivadavia.
López y Planes also composed El Triunfo Argentino, an ode to the resistance during the English invasion of Buenos Aires. At the beginning it was going to be called "Olivos", currently the name of the most important district of Vicente López.
Vicente López is the 8th most populated partido of Greater Buenos Aires. Most of the inhabitants are descendants of Italian and Spanish immigrants. There are also descendants of German, Polish, Ukrainian, Armenian and Croatian amongst other nationalities.[4]
The partido has 280,929 inhabitants according to the 2010 Census.
