Moreno Partido is apartido of theBuenos Aires Province,Argentina, within theGran Buenos Airesurban agglomeration. It has an area of 186 square kilometres (72 sq mi) and a population of 462,242 (2010census[INDEC]).[1] It is named after the Argentine politicianMariano Moreno.
The evolution of the population from the end of the 20th century is: 114,041 (1970); 194,440 (1980); 287,295 (1991); 380,503 (2001); 462,242 (2010)[citation needed]
Moreno has grown in population during the first years of the 21st century thanks to the Chinese immigration that swept all over Argentina, to which Moreno was no exception.[citation needed]
Moreno is connected to the Capital Federal by the railways (Ferrocarril Sarmiento), where Moreno is the last station and Once (Capital Federal) is the first one.[citation needed]
In 2007 Moreno renewed itself by doing a makeover of its bus and train station based on a 1980sarchitectural plan. Because of this several streets in Moreno Centro have changed from being two-way to one-way since the beginning of the 21st century.[citation needed]
The Museo de Historia Natural "Francisco Javier Muñiz" de Moreno was inaugurated in Moreno Partido in 1999 in honor ofFrancisco Javier Muñiz, who was considered the firstpaleontologist of Argentina. Partido de Luján, now part of Moreno, was the site of his most important discoveries.[2]
