The surname Uriburu is of Basque origin and means "head of town" in the Basque language. The origin of the first people using this surname is in the 9th century. Some warriors fought in the battle of Beotivar using that name. It seems the Uriburu were originally "de Uruburu" and the name changed in 1786 when the first Uriburu arrived to the north of Argentina, then the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata. The de Uruburu family originally had their properties near Mendata,a small town in Guipuzcoa,in the Basque Provinces of the north of Spain. Today still remains the small town with the name of Uruburu. The Uriburu family stayed in Argentina until today, giving famous military, governors and Presidents to the country of Argentina. They were linked by family to other named families as de Alvear, Quintana, and Anchorena. The original shield of arms of this family had the figure of a silver tower on a gold mountain in a red background surrounded by blue stars. In the United States the family stills keeps the original name, "de Uruburu." In Argentina, the Uriburus were involved in the British invasions of the Río de la Plata, fighting against the invaders; in General Martín Miguel de Güemes's campaign in Salta Province against the Spanish Army]; in General Belgrano's campaigns; and in General José de San Martín's campaign for giving freedom to Chile and Peru. Decades later, they would took part in Julio Roca's ''Conquest of the Desert''. A member of Roca's National Autonomist Party, José Evaristo Uriburu was Vice-President to Luis Sáenz Peña. When the latter resigned in 1895, Uriburu became President. On 6 September 1930, the first modern coup d'état in modern Argentina was headed by José Félix Uriburu, José Evaristo's nephew. Previously Jose Felix Uriburu had been elected Senator for Salta Province, in a democratic election. Two years after the coup he retired instead of remaining as de facto President, allowing a new democratic government to manage Argentina and discarting the possibility of a civil war . ==References== Sources: Arenas Luque,Fermin.
