Article History

Caseros, cabecera (county seat) of Tres de Febrero partido (county), in Gran (Greater) Buenos Aires, eastern Argentina, lying immediately west of the city of Buenos Aires, in Buenos Aires provincia (province). The present-day city is the site of the Battle of Caseros (February 3, 1852), in which the Argentine military ruler Juan Manuel de Rosas was overthrown. The county seat acquired its name from the Palomar de Caseros, a historic house built by Bernardo Casero in 1799. At the time of the Battle of Caseros, the site of the city was part of the county of Morón. The area was taken into the county of San Martín in 1864, and in 1959 it was expropriated to establish the county of Tres de Febrero.

Caseros has become an important industrial centre, producing metal goods, paper, glass, textiles, pharmaceuticals, perfume, and bricks. The county seat houses the National Military College and a museum dedicated (1941) to the Battle of Caseros and located in the house of Bernardo Casero.

With the growth of the national capital, particularly since 1947, Caseros has been absorbed into the western suburban area of Gran Buenos Aires. Proximity to the national capital offers the citizens of Caseros many of the same transportation and communication links afforded the residents of Buenos Aires city. Pop. (2001) county, 336,467; (2010) county, 340,071.
