LocationThe town is located on the coast of Río de la Plata near the stream Arroyo Conchillas, {{convert|50|km}} northwest of Colonia del Sacramento, the capital city of the department, and {{convert|40|km}} southeast of Carmelo. HistoryThe town is said to have been founded by the English on 24 October 1887.[1] It soon became an important place for the exploitation of mineral resources. The English created a factory, founded two cemeteries, and established an Anglican Church. It is also believed that they kept their own currency for economic transactions, which was widely accepted in the rest of the country.[1] However, with the outbreak of the Second World War, Conchillas was sold to two Uruguayan entrepreneurs who introduced a series of modifications. Today, the English influence that resulted from the arrival of numerous European settlers is mainly evident in the architecture of Conchillas rather than in the way of life of its inhabitants.[1] On 21 December 1955, the status of the localities known as "Conchillas y Gil" was elevated to "Pueblo" (village) under the common name "Conchillas" by the Act of Nº Ley 12.254.[2] PopulationAccording to the 2011 census, Conchillas had a population of 756.[3]
