According to Wikipedia:
"Pilar is a city in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the head
town of the partido of the same name. It has a population of more than
230,000 inhabitants as per the 2001 census. Pilar is the site where the
Treaty of Pilar was signed on 1820-02-23, establishing the basis for
Argentine federalism. Because of this relevant event, the city of Pilar is
acknowledged as the "Cradle of National Federalism". This Treaty marked the
end of the war between the provinces of Entre Ríos and Santa Fe against
Buenos Aires.
Pilar has experienced a huge demographic expansion, specially
in the last decade, that brought with it both a great economical increase
and the rapid development of a prominent city. The city is also known as
being an exclusive residential hideaway from downtown Buenos Aires where
primarily upper class families own top real estate parlors located most of
the time in private country clubs."
