History

The land the village is located belonged to Jacobo Spangenberg, who sold it in 1889 to a contingent of Volga German settlers who founded the colony. In 1888, 19 families in the Puerto de Diamante were from the Volga river region. The majority of them came from Huck village, Sarátov Oblast in Russia. After a provisional stay in Aldea Protestante, they went to the area where they founded three villages: San Juan, San Antonio, and Santa Celia. Thirty families settled in San Juan, and seventeen in San Antonio. On 24 February 1889, the village of San Antonio was founded. The community gradually grew to 507 inhabitants in 1991 and 791 in 2001.Шаблон:Fact
