With the dizzying pace of time these regions were populated by farmers who lived with their families in the products they grew and harvested. In 1611, the council asked the administrator reports on tillage land for growing wheat and it sends the names of fifteen farmers living in the area. Thus was born the "village" that thereafter grew and strengthened social and economically.
 
Today the city of Tigre has become an unavoidable spot for locals and visitors.
