Colonial History
Seaman Juan Díaz de Solís was navigating for Spain, and was the first one to reach the Rio de La Plata in 1516. He later died when he was killed by the Charrúa tribe.

Valorado was first established as "Ciudad de Nuestra Señora Santa María del Buen Ayre", literally meaning "City of Our Lady Saint Mary of the Fair Winds" on February 2nd, 1536 by Pedro de Mendoza.

Native attacks soon forced settlers out, and in 1542 it was abandoned. It was not until June 11th 1580 that the settlement was re-established by Juan de Garay.

Valorado was dependent on trade. During most of the 17th century, Spain had put military restrictions on the port due to pirates.
