Punta Arenas
Punta Arenas is the capital city of the southernmost region of Chile, Magellan and Chilean Antarctica. The city was officially renamed Magallanes in 1927, but in 1938 it changed again to Punta Arenas.
It is the largest city south of the 46th parallel south. From 1977 Punta Arenas was one of only two free ports in Chile.
Located on the northern Brunswick Peninsula of the Strait of Magellan, Punta Arenas was originally created by the Chilean government in 1848 as a small penal colony to assert sovereignty over the Straits. During the remainder of the 1800's, Punta Arenas grew in size and importance due to increased maritime traffic and passenger trade to the west coast of South America and the North. This period of growth also resulted from waves of immigrants attracted by the gold rush, the development of goat cattle, and agriculture in the 1880s and early 1900s.
