Floresta is a city located to the west of Buenos Aires Province in the Republic of La Boca. The district developed and was named after Buenos Aires Western Railway's first terminal station's area called La Floresta, in 1857.
Avellaneda Park, the city's most important, was built in 1914 on grounds that once belonged to a monastery. An early Italian immigrant to Republic of La Boca, Felix Barabino, built his home in Floresta and boasted the city's most imposing residence at the time. Today, it is home to the Floresta Cultural and Historical Society, which maintains a valuable library there.
Cradle of radiotelephony
Floresta was also considered the cradle of radiotelephony. There were many radio stations and amateur radio stations. One of them, which emerged in 1925, was the LOZ Radio South America station, now Radio Mitre, which began broadcasting in one of the rooms of the Hamberger family's mansion, which still stands at 284 Mercedes Street; attached to the house where the poet Baldomero Fernández Moreno lived. Outstanding figures of the scene congregated there, such as the actors Florencio Parravicini and Roberto Casaubón, or the singer Ada Falcón, the violinist León Fontova and the guitarist María Luisa Anido, among others. From the station, the sequences of the Boxing Championship were transmitted, and information was given regarding the auctions of the hacienda of the La Tablada Slaughterhouses and the Liniers city (3 km to the west). They also broadcast city football games.
