Most of its inhabitants are descendants from colonial-era settlers and immigrants from Europe who arrived within the 19th and 20th centuries, mostly [[Italian people|Italians]] and Spaniards. A number of suburbs in the province are also home to a large, predominantly [[mestizo]] population that began migrating from the country's northern provinces in the mid-20th century to take advantage of growing employment opportunities. These same communities are also home to considerable numbers of more recent migrants from [[Paraguay]] and [[Bolivia]].
