Founded on 20 March 1783 by the military surveyor Tomás de Rocamora — who also founded Gualeguaychú and Concepción del Uruguay and gave the province of Entre Ríos its name — Gualeguay is a riverside town in Argentina's Entre Ríos province. It has served as the provincial capital of culture since 2014, and is the birthplace of post-impressionist painter Cesáreo Bernaldo de Quirós, anthropologist Juan Bautista Ambrosetti, 1986 World Cup final goal-scorer Jorge Burruchaga, and Manchester United defender Lisandro Martínez.
