Haumonia
Haumonia is a village and municipality in Chaco Province in northern Argentina in the Tapengá Department. It is administratively dependent on the municipality of Charadai (the equivalent of the county seat), which is about 36 kilometers (22 miles) away.
Haumonia was developed as a logging town connected to the company La Forestal. It came to have two railways, with one running towards Charadai and Santa Sylvina, and the other towards Villa Berthet. Both routes are no longer operational, and there was a proposal to transfer the lines to the General Manuel Belgrano Railway. Once the area's natural resources had been exhausted, La Forestal abandoned the town, which lead to a large portion of the population leaving as well.

The earliest recorded human presence in modern-day Argentina dates back to the Paleolithic period. The Inca Empire expanded to the northwest of the country in Pre-Columbian times. The country has its roots in Spanish colonization of the region during the 16th century. Argentina rose as the successor state of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, a Spanish overseas viceroyalty founded in 1776. The declaration and fight for independence (1810–1818) was followed by an extended civil war that lasted until 1861, culminating in the country's reorganization as a federation. The country thereafter enjoyed relative peace and stability, with several waves of European immigration, mainly Italians and Spaniards, radically reshaping its cultural and demographic outlook; over 60% of the population has full or partial Italian ancestry, and Argentine culture has significant connections to Italian culture.
