Yatay Tí Calle

Yatay Tí Calle (also spelled Yataytí Calle) is a municipality and locality in Lavalle Department, Corrientes Province, Argentina. Its name derives from Guaraní words: Jata'i, a type of palm, and Ty, meaning a set or group, so the name is often translated as 'street, path or trail surrounded or covered by a group of palm trees' or 'street covered with coconut palms.' The municipality's productive lands are bounded to the east by the Cafarreño estero and to the west by a series of lagoons, notably Laguna Sirena. The municipality comprises the head locality of Yatay Tí Calle and ten rural settlements (parajes): Cafarreño, Cerrito, Costa Batel, Crucesitas, El Chaquito or El Porongo, Laguna Sirena, Palermo, Paso López, Puente Batel and Ifrán. According to the 2022 national census by INDEC, the municipality has 3,389 inhabitants. Its main access route is Provincial Route 38, linking it west to Santa Lucía and east to National Route 12; a secondary access is Provincial Route 84, connecting south to National Route 12. The area is known for rich flora and fauna, forming a natural park-like ecosystem. The municipal government provides various public services and infrastructure, and the official portal of Corrientes Province lists municipal contact and services. The settlement's history dates back to 1880 when the first inhabitants began to settle on lands closer together. In 1898 the San Antonio de Padua Chapel was erected, around which people began to settle. On 28 September 1940, by Provincial Law No. 892, the Development Commission of the Town and Agricultural Center of Yatay Tí Calle was created. Later, in 1961, the Municipality building of Yatay Tí Calle was constructed. The municipality operates under a municipal organic charter (carta orgánica).
