History
The whereabouts of Ciudad del Plata were formerly known as Rincón de la Bolsa. It was a group of independent fragments, which became integrated into one populated centre, as a result of the westward expansion of the metropolitan area of Montevideo.
According to the legislative decree nº18.052, it received city status under the name 'Ciudad del Plata' on 25 October 2006.[1] The former fragments became barrios (neighbourhoods) of the newly formed city.
