Tandil

The name of the city, Tandil, domes from mapuche words "Tan", which means "fallen" and "Lil", which means "rock" - a "rock that falls". It is probably named after a "miracle" stone Piedra Movediza which eventually fell February 29th, 1912.
Some others think that these words could mean "the rock that moves" since the rock had a small movement at its base.

This was until it fell. Many people think that it fell off because it was a common practice, in order to demonstrate its movement, to put bottles or some other things on its base and see them break.

Founded by Martin Rodriguez in April 4, 1823. In 1854 the Blessed Sacrament Church was built and in 1887 the first theatre was opened. A year after (1888), the hospital was built.
In 1974 the first University in the city arrived with the UNCPBA (University from the center of the Buenos Aires province. Donīt mistake with the UBA)

Today, Tandil is a city with about 150 000 inhabitants.
