As of the census of 2011, it is the ninth most populated city of the country. LocationIt is located at the center of the department, on the intersection of Route 7 with Route 8, {{convert|60|km}} south of Aceguá and the border with Brazil. Other primary roads to the city are Route 26 and Route 44. GeographyThe stream Arroyo Conventos (a tributary of Tacuarí River) flows by the west limits of the city. HistoryIt was founded on 27 June 1795 by Agustín de la Rosa, an officer to the Spanish Empire.[1] It was named after Pedro Melo de Portugal, a Spanish colonial official of Portuguese royal ancestry. Given its proximity to some Portuguese colonies in Brazil, the "Melo Village" (in Spanish, "Villa de Melo"), as it was once named, was invaded by Portuguese forces in 1801, 1811, and 1816. With Uruguayan independence, Melo was officially declared capital of the department of Cerro Largo. In 1845, the city square was renamed in honor of Manuel Oribe, a former President of Uruguay and a political leader of the White Party (Partido Blanco), which brought to light the relations of this corner of the country with that National Movement (the vast majority of its inhabitants have belonged to that same political community). Melo had acquired the status of "Villa" (town) before the Independence of Uruguay. Its status was elevated to "Ciudad" (city) on 22 May 1895 by the Act of Ley Nº 2.3279.[2] It was capital of one of the nine original departments of the Republic. The historian J.C. Chasteen has discussed the place of Melo in the history of Uruguay in his book Heroes on Horseback: A Life and Times of the Last Gaucho Caudillos.[3] PopulationIn 2011 Melo had a population of 51,830 inhabitants.[4]

Near Melo is situated the old Posta del Chuy, a stone inn near an ancient bridge over the Chuy del Tacuarí creek. Melo was visited by Pope John Paul II in 1988. This formed the background to the 2006 film El Baño del Papa (The Pope's Toilet) about an enterprising citizen with the ill-fated idea of making money by building a toilet and charging the hordes of Brazilians expected to visit Melo to see the Pope.
