In 1873 contingents of families were already arriving in other regions, and although it may seem paradoxical, it was not known what to do with them. This happened in Lobos with 30 Irish families who were offered to Monte (as expressed in a letter addressed to the Justice of Peace of Monte Joaquín Herreros) since they had arrived to establish themselves as farmers or in rural establishments and not finding a place to put them, they were offered and sent to our town.
