Neuquén ({{IPA-es|neu̯ˈken}}) is the capital city of the Argentine province of Neuquén and of the Confluencia Department, located in the east of the province. It occupies a strip of land west of the confluence of the Limay and Neuquén rivers which form the Río Negro making it part of the Microregion of Alto Valle del Río Negro. The city and surrounding area have a population of more than 340,000, making it the largest city in Patagonia. Along with the cities of Plottier and Cipolletti, it is part of the Neuquén – Plottier – Cipolletti conurbation.

Founded in 1904, it is the newest provincial capital city in Argentina.[1]

Economy

Neuquén is both an important agricultural center, surrounded by fertile lands irrigated by the waters of the Limay and Neuquén rivers in an otherwise arid province, and a petrochemical industrial center that receives oil extracted from different points of the province. It belongs economically and geographically to the Alto Valle region that produces apples, pears, and other fruits.

With the discovery of the Vaca Muerta oil fields west of the city (3rd largest shale gas & oil reserves in the world{{citation needed|date=May 2014}}), it has begun to experience a boom in real estate and construction. It is expected that over the next few years the city will experience unprecedented growth as it is the only significant city in the region (it has an airport, shopping centers, office space and institutions to become the center of the operations not only of the oil & gas companies, but also their suppliers)

Transport

National Route 22 divides the city into two-halves.

The Presidente Perón Airport is eight kilometers ({{convert|8|km|abbr=off|disp=output only}}) away from the city and serves regular flights to Buenos Aires, San Carlos de Bariloche, Comodoro Rivadavia, Río Gallegos, Río Grande, Ushuaia, and San Martín de los Andes.

History

{{unreferenced section|date=August 2012}}

The first inhabitants of the area were very mobile and moved according to the seasons of the year, climatic conditions, and the abundance of food and game. Around the 16th century the people living in different areas of the province began to be assimilated by the Mapuche people.[2] One of the most important trails used by the Mapuches passed through the area of the confluence of the Limay and Neuquén rivers.

In the 17th century European explorers arrived in the area of the confluence.

In 1604, Hernando Arias de Saavedra decided to explore the trails to Patagonia. With the support of the ranchers of Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, and Corrientes, he departed from Buenos Aires and passed through the mountains of the Sierra de la Ventana. He reached what is now the city of Neuquén and continued on, possibly passing through what is today Auca Mahuida.

In 1782, departing from Carmen de Patagones, Basilio Villarino traveled upstream on the Río Negro. On 23 January 1783, he arrived at the confluence of the Limay and Neuquén Rivers, camping on an island.[3] He then followed the Limay to the confluence of the Collón Curá, then from there to the Chimehuin River.[4]

In 1885, the lands of what was at that time called Confluencia (i.e., "confluence," referring to the two rivers) were auctioned to a few people. Shortly after the Conquest of the Desert campaign conducted by the military over Patagonia, the Tehuelche and Pehuenche tribes that inhabited the province of Neuquén were either killed or pushed out of these lands.

Since there was no defined border with Chile, the Argentine government reached an agreement with the British-owned Buenos Aires Great Southern Railway company that was constructing a railway network, mainly in Buenos Aires Province, to build an extension to the town in exchange for lands, in order to populate it. In 1899, the railroad reached Cipolletti in Río Negro province, and three years later, after the construction of the bridge, arrived at Neuquén.

Neuquén was officially founded on 12 September 1904, and the capital of the territory was transferred from Chos Malal to the young town. The name "Neuquén" derives from the Mapudungun word nehuenken, meaning drafty, which the native people used in reference to this river.

By 1930, the town had only 5,000 inhabitants. In the 1960s, it acquired a new importance when oil deposits were found in the province by the state company YPF. The 1970s and 1980s saw massive demographic growth, accompanied by improvements such as the creation of the National University of Comahue in 1971.

Climate

Neuquén has an arid climate (Köppen BWk).[5] Precipitation is low, averaging {{convert|200|mm|in|0}} per year, which is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year.[6] The mean annual temperature is between {{convert|14|to|15|C|F}}.[6] During December and January, the mean temperature in these months is about {{convert|23|C|F}} while in July, it reaches below {{convert|6|C|F}}.[6] Being located far away from any major bodies of water, the thermal amplitude is high along with a large diurnal range, which indicates continental characteristics of the climate of the city.[6]

Winds are moderately strong throughout the year, which favors evapotranspiration.[6] Most of the wind comes from the west and the southwest, both of which occur 40–50% of the time.[6] Summers tend to be windier than winters with average wind speeds ranging from a low of {{convert|8|km/h|abbr=on}} in July to a high of {{convert|16|km/h|abbr=on}} in December.[6] Mean daily sunshine hours range from a high of 11 hours/day in January to a low of 3 hours/day in June.[6]

The highest temperature recorded was {{convert|42.3|C|F}} on 21 January 1980 while the lowest temperature recorded was {{convert|-12.8|C|F}} on 13 June 1961.[7]
