GOYA

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 303 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GOYA , a river town and port of
Corrientes
 , Argentine Republic, the commercial centre of the
south
 -western departments of the province and
chief
  town of a department of the same name, on a riacho or side channel of the Parana about 5 M. from the main channel and about 120 M. S. of the city of
Corrientes
 . Pop. (19o5, est.) 7000. The town is built on low ground which is subject to inundations in very wet weather, but its streets are broad and the general
appearance
  of its edifices is good. Among its public buildings is a handsome parish
church
  and a national normal school. The productions of the neighbourhood are chiefly
pastoral
 , and its exports include cattle, hides, wool and oranges. Goya had an export of crudely-made cheese
long
  before the modern cheese factories of the Argentine Republic came into existence. The place
dates
  from 1807, and had its origin, it is said, in the
trade
  established there by a ship captain and his wife Gregoria or Goya, who supplied passing vessels with beef.
