On the one hand, in the year 1790 arrived from Buenos Aires, coming from Spain, religious missionaries evangelizers who went to the North to preach the word of God, made a stop in this place and erected a cross made with logs, to make their prayers of healing of the sick brothers and protection during the trip, being officiated in the place the Holy Mass. The other version expresses that this cross was a point of reference for the settlement of the population as the village moved to its new location.
