From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ukrainians (Українці in Ukrainian, Ucranianos in Spanish) are an ethnic minority in Argentina, numbering 305,000 people, hence making up 0.076% of the total population.[1] Currently, main concentrations of Ukrainians in Argentina are in the Greater Buenos Aires area, the Misiones, and Chaco provinces.[2] Over 120,000 of Ukrainians in Argentina are Greek Catholics.[3]
The first wave of Ukrainian immigration to Argentina included 12-14 families from Eastern Galicia (at the time part of Austria-Hungary) in 1897.[4][5] When the immigrants arrived in the country, the Argentine government sent them to the Misiones Province, where they settled in the settlement of Apóstoles.[4]
There were four waves of Ukrainian immigration to Argentina: pre-World War II, with about 10,000 to 14,000 immigrants, post-WWI to World War II, including approximately 50,000, post-WWII, with 5,000 immigrants, and the post-Soviet immigration, which is estimated to be at approximately 4,000.[5]
