History

Most of Syrians and Lebaneses emigrating to Argentina established in northwest. The Syrians and Lebanese were mostly hawkers and did not practice agriculture. Thus, not settled in agricultural colonies, but stayed in the cities in greater numbers than other immigrants. The plan Sarmiento and Alberdi for populate regions had emptied of indigenous did not materialize, as most of the newcomers chose cities.[2]Between 1945 and 1974 migratory flows Syrian - Lebanese to Argentina are increased due to the civil war in Lebanon. Already in the period from 1975 to 1977 decreases again. The first destination of these groups (Arabs, Syrian - Lebanese, Christians and Muslims) was the province of Buenos Aires and from there many expanded into the country, attracted by landscapes that resembled much of their land. So they settled in Salta, Jujuy, La Rioja, San Juan, Mendoza, Santiago del Estero, Misiones, Chaco and Patagonia. In these provinces were devoted primarily to agricultural tasks.[3]
