History
El Jagüel was formed from the division and urbanization of land carried out by a real estate company in the 1950s. At that time, the place was an open field, with little presence of houses. In 1954, several inhabitants settled who acquired plots in the area, and built their homes with minimal comfort. There were no schools, there was no lighting, and they depended on the Monte Grande and Ezeiza train stations, the closest ones. The neighborhood was electrified in 1957, and a short time later the railway station corresponding to the Constitución-Ezeiza branch of the Roca Line was created, facilitating population growth and economic progress.
