[edit] History
The fields were originally property of the Society of Jesus, and they were called Chacra de los jesuitas. When this religious order was rejected in 1769, this fields were taken from the Society of Jesus, and expropriated in favor of the government, which give them to the Real Colegio de San Carlos and its succesors, one of them being Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires. The first generations stayed there on vacation, for this reason it was known as Chacarita de los Colegiales.
