A ''partido'' is the second-level administrative subdivision in the . They are formally considered to be a single administrative unit, and usually contain one or more population centers (i.e. towns and cities). They are divided into ''localidades'', which correspond to the municipalities in other departments. Partidos are distinct from all other provinces of Argentina, which call their second-level subdivisions ''departamento'', and are further subdivided into distinct municipalities. ==History== By the end of 17th century the municipal council (cabildo) of Buenos Aires established the first partidos in the countryside: San Isidro del Pago de la Costa (San Isidro) in 1779 and San Vicente, Quilmes, Magdalena, La Matanza, Cañada de Morón (Morón), Las Conchas (Tigre) and San Pedro in 1784. At the head of every partido, the cabildo appointed a rural judge called ''Alcalde de la Santa Hermandad''. The judge, or alcalde, had the mission to maintain the law and order in the surrounding rural area of Buenos Aires, fighting against cattle raiders. The alcalde was helped by a constabulary called ''Santa Hermandad'' (Holy Brotherhood) created in the late 15th century by the Catholic Monarchs and transplanted to the colonies. In 1821 the Governor Martín Rodríguez and his minister Bernardino Rivadavia dissolved the cabildo and since then was the governor itself who appointed the judge, now called ''Juez de Paz'' (Justice of Peace). In 1856 the office of Juez de Paz was replaced by a ''Presidente de la Municipalidad'', or Municipal President. It was appointed by the Governor from a list of three candidates presented by the ''Municipales'', or Councillors, who were elected by the citizens of the different partidos. Since 1890 the head of the government is called ''Intendente'' (Intendant), or Mayor, and it is directly elected by the citizens. On October 24, 1864 the Legislature of the Province of Buenos Aires sanctioned law № 422, dividing the province into 45 partidos: Arrecifes, Baradero, Barrancas al Sud (Avellaneda), Belgrano (Barrio Belgrano), Cañuelas, Carmen de Areco, Chacabuco, Chascomús, Chivilcoy, del Pilar, Ensenada, Exaltación de la Cruz, General las Heras, General San Martín, Giles, Junín, Matanza, Las Conchas (Tigre), Lobos, Lomas de Zamora, Luján, Magdalena, Mercedes, Merlo, Monte, Moreno, Morón, Navarro, Pergamino, Quilmes, Ramallo, Ranchos, Rivadavia, Rojas, Salto, San Antonio, San Fernando, San Isidro, San José de Flores (Barrio Flores), San Nicolás, San Pedro, San Vicente, Suipacha, Viedma and Zárate. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Partidos of Buenos Aires」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
