From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Concepción is a city in northern Paraguay and capital of the Concepción Department. It lies on the Paraguay River.
Founded by a Spanish Governor, named Agustín Fernado de Pinedo, the town prospered in the early years of the XX century, as a centre for the north of the country, exploiting the new wealth of the Gran Chaco, and a river port. The town was also a centre for the Paraguayan Civil War of 1947.
