Pilar is a city in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the head town of the partido of the same name. It has a population of more than 230,000 inhabitants as per the 2001 census [INDEC].

Pilar is the site where the Treaty of Pilar was signed on 1820-02-23, establishing the basis for Argentine federalism. Because of this relevant event, the city of Pilar is acknowledged as the "Cradle of National Federalism". This Treaty marked the end of the war between the provinces of Entre Ríos and Santa Fe against Buenos Aires.

Pilar has experienced a huge demographic expansion, specially in the last decade, that brought with it both a great economical increase and the rapid development of a prominent city.

The city is also known as being an exclusive residential hideaway from downtown Buenos Aires where primarily upper class families own top real estate parlors located most of the time in private country clubs.
