History

After the Conquest of the Desert, president Julio Argentino Roca gave his secretary, Manuel Marcos Zorilla, 15,000 hectares of the aerea that included the present General Enrique Godoy and Villa Regina, which he called "Campo Zorilla" (Zorrilla Field). Part of the property was acquired by Spanish physician Avelino Gutiérrez and his mathematician son-in-law Julio Rey Pastor in 1920 for urban development. The train station was innagured in 1924 and the town was named after an expeditioner of the Desert conquest.
