San José de Feliciano

San José de Feliciano is a city and municipal center in the northern part of Entre Ríos Province, Argentina. It serves as the head town of Feliciano Department and is located close to the provincial boundary with Corrientes. The settlement is associated with a predominantly rural landscape characterized by streams, palm-tree forests, natural grasslands, and cattle and sheep raising. The city was officially founded in 1818. Its name combines a dedication to Saint Joseph with a reference to Feliciano Rodríguez, a historical figure described in local and regional accounts as having accompanied Juan de Garay during the foundation of Santa Fe. This naming links the settlement to both Catholic devotional tradition and the early colonial history of the wider Paraná and Santa Fe region. San José de Feliciano functions as a local administrative and service center for the surrounding department. The available reference material presents it primarily as a settlement rather than as a commercial brand or private enterprise. No separate corporate owner, parent organization, listed entity, or commercial product portfolio is identified. Its public identity is instead connected to municipal government, regional geography, local history, agriculture, livestock, fishing, and tourism. According to the cited 2001 Argentine census, the city had 11,137 inhabitants. This figure is historical and should not be treated as a current population estimate. The surrounding territory includes numerous watercourses and is situated near the Guayquiraró River. These waterways support fishing and contribute to the area's recreational and tourism profile. Natural pasture is used for livestock production, particularly cattle and sheep, while palm-dotted woodland and open grassland form notable elements of the local landscape. The municipality's official website is the principal institutional web address supplied for the locality. Tourism and municipal-information references also identify San José de Feliciano within the broader Entre Ríos administrative and tourism system. Beyond these functions, the supplied sources do not establish a separate national or international brand strategy, major corporate employers, named municipal executives, promotional campaigns, or significant commercial milestones.

San José de Feliciano is a settlement in northern Entre Ríos Province, Argentina, near the border with Corrientes. Its documented municipal history begins with its official foundation in 1818. The available account explains that the name honors Saint Joseph and Feliciano Rodríguez, who is associated with Juan de Garay's expedition and the foundation of Santa Fe. The name therefore reflects both religious tradition and the early historical networks of the region. The settlement developed within a landscape shaped by waterways, wooded areas, palm groves, and open pasture. Numerous streams cross or lie near the locality, while the Guayquiraró River provides an important geographic reference and supports fishing. The surrounding grasslands have traditionally been used for raising cattle and sheep, giving the area a rural economic character. These environmental features also contribute to the locality's tourism identity, particularly through fishing, outdoor recreation, and appreciation of its natural scenery. Administratively, San José de Feliciano is the head town of Feliciano Department. Its role is consequently broader than that of a small rural settlement: it serves as a center for local government and departmental services. The supplied reference material does not provide a detailed chronology of municipal institutions, infrastructure projects, population changes, or political administrations, so those aspects cannot be described reliably here. The 2001 census cited in the reference material recorded 11,137 inhabitants. Because this is an historical census result, it provides a time-specific demographic reference rather than a current population figure. The locality continues to be presented through municipal and provincial information resources as an active city of Entre Ríos. Its public profile combines administrative importance with rural production, fishing, and nature-based tourism. No evidence in the supplied sources indicates that San José de Feliciano is a private company, product brand, or commercial group; its inclusion in a brand-style record is best understood as an institutional and place-identity entry.
