Caleta Olivia is a town located in the northeastern part of the Argentine province of Santa Cruz, the San Jorge Gulf of the Atlantic. It had a population of 70,304 in the 2010 census [National Institute of Statistics and Census of Argentina]. It is the second most important city in the province after Rio Gallegos, and the most populated of the Deseado Department. The city was founded November 20, 1901 by Navy Lieutenant Exequiel Guttero, captain of the Guardia Nacional, a ship carrying cables, equipment, and workers for the construction of a telegraph line south of Comodoro Rivadavia. The settlement was given the name of his wife Olivia (Caleta means "creek", "inlet"). The main economic activities around town are petroleum, sheep and fishing. Its port serves both as a fishing center, and as an export point for locally produced goods. Among the monuments of the city, probably the most characteristic is the "El Gorosito" built to honor an oil industry workers. .... Learn more at Wikipedia
