Founded on 8 September 1856 by around two hundred European farming families under a land-grant colonisation contract, Esperanza holds the distinction of being Argentina's first organised agricultural colony and today hosts the country's National Agriculture Festival each year on that anniversary. The town sits at the centre of Argentina's most important dairy district and has several historic churches in its centre, with the Salado river and scenic surrounds a short drive away.
