Swiss immigration in Argentina

Swiss immigration to Argentina occurred mainly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, driven by economic opportunities and political stability in Argentina. Swiss immigrants brought skills in agriculture, industry, and finance, contributing to Argentina’s development. Many settled in provinces like Córdoba, Buenos Aires, and Entre Ríos, maintaining Swiss traditions and establishing organizations like clubs and churches. Today, the Swiss Argentine community remains active, blending their heritage with Argentine society, and preserving cultural ties through institutions, festivals, and genealogical records.
