Pereyra Iraola

The Pereyra Iraola family is one of the families of the Argentine landowning bourgeoisie (originated around 1836), which, together with the families of Álzaga, Anchorena, Santamarina, Pastorino, Bullrich, Lynch, Lezica, Girado, Santa Coloma and others came to own (a century later) more than one hundred thousand hectares of countryside in the Province of Buenos Aires, forming the so-called conservative Oligarchy in Argentina.

Origin

The Pereyra family descends from Leonardo Pereyra de Castro, born in Vigo in 1750 and died in Argentina on March 16, 1818.

On June 21, 1850, his son Simón Pereyra bought the Las Conchitas ranch from Juana Rita Pinto de Ximénez, with eight stalls:

• From the Costa del Ría
• From the Sentinel
• The Calera
• The Anniversaries
• San José
• San Pedro
• Santa Rosa
• Villalba

Simón Pereyra (1801-1852) and Ciríaca Iraola were the parents of Leonardo Pereyra (1834-1899), who was president of the Argentine Rural Society (1882-1884). He married his double first cousin, Antonia Iraola. Leonardo Pereyra Iraola (1867-1943) was born from this marriage. According to the National Biographical Dictionary of the Radical Civic Union, by Enrique Pereira, he was one of the founders of the Civic Union and a member of the national committee of the Radical Civic Union. He was a lawyer graduated from the University of Buenos Aires. His descendants soon married members of the Anchorena and Álzaga patrician families, currently being members of the so-called Santamarina clan.

The family was characterized by the breeding of Hereford cattle on its ranches in Tandil, Balcarce, Tres Arroyos and San Nicolás, and on the El Rosario, La Caridad and La Oración ranches, which were lands detached from the old San Juan ranch. (in barracks V of Ayacucho), and another ranch also called San Juan, which was located in the town of Berazategui and which today is known as the Pereyra Iraola Park, whose extension was larger than the current one, since good Part of that territory was expropriated by the government of Juan Domingo Perón to build the aforementioned Pereyra Iraola Provincial Park.
