Vélez Sársfield is a "barrio" or district in the western part of Buenos Aires, Argentina, located in the area defined by the streets Segurola Avenue, Juan Agustín García, Lope de Vega Avenue, Juan B. Justo Ave., Corro Ave., Medina, Juan Bautista Alberdi Ave. and Mariano Acosta.

Description & History

The barrio was named after Dalmacio Vélez Sársfield, the 19th century author of the Argentine civil code, and a translator of Latin poems into Spanish. It's a typical low-rise housing area, that like many others was mainly populated during the urban explosion at the beginning of the 20th century.

It's currently a middle class barrio, among whose largely low-rise housing there are some small factories and warehouses. It should be noted that the first division football (soccer) club CA Vélez Sársfield is in fact based in the nearby barrio of Liniers, in the Estadio José Amalfitani, and not in the barrio of Vélez Sársfield itself.

The Maldonado Stream runs through Vélez Sársfield, which in the early 20th century was turned into an underground stream after the building a canalization tunnel. The main avenue in the barrio, named after Juan B. Justo, runs over the stream, marking where the stream used to be. The Maldonado was at one point a natural marker for the city limits of Buenos Aires, before the towns of Flores and Belgrano emerged (which are now also barrios).
