Comments that includes Federico Schroeder in his "History of the Colony Cerrito " refer to the activity of licks and corambres that gave name to the Port of Tannery" from which, says the author, prior to the founding of the Colonia Cerrito embarked hides, bones, charcoal, wood and Paraguayan families settled in the place of snuff produced a remarkable aroma and flavor. The port is located within the so-called "Tannery Field, one of the two lots Tala District, which along with" Potrero del Cerro "were part of the larger area known as" Campos del Cerrito. " Schroeder takes the legend that this port would have replaced the Bajada Grande in the work of vaqueo of wild cattle in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a time when the firm of Robertson Brothers exported salted and tanned leather.
Research by Horacio Enrique Blanc in his "Puerto Tannery. Posta That River" (1st ed. The author Print Uranga, Paraná 2010), indicate that since the 1870s, made manifest and circumstances which show the existence of a human settlement by spontaneous generation, composed of fishermen, woodcutters, charcoal and honeymooners Creoles, who were added to cultures Paraguayan peasants "in slashing" of snuff, cotton, sweet potatoes, corn, squash, beans, cassava, which were lying on the river traffic, or migrate during the government of Carlos Solano López in the time it took the bloody War of Paraguay or the Triple Alliance (1864-1870). These groups are Creole and Paraguay, after successive mutations authorities on hillsides and canyons between the streams Tannery and Antonio Thomas in the 1860's, eventually concentrating in the natural anchorage a wooden jetty to the bottom, where they arrived brigs, sloops, Zumaca and then the first paddle steamers, to stock up on fresh food and firewood and charcoal for fuel stowed on the riverbank. The village is definitely strengthened with the arrival of traders in wealth, salted and tanned hides of store owners and carters who transported and collect firewood, coal, hides and cured in this crude berth which originally was called Puerto de la Tannery, exchanging ships its products with the road map of Asuncion, Paraguay, Buenos Aires. The increasing fluvial activity will lead to the appointment of the first district administrative authorities Tala, splinter and Antonio Thomas after a new administrative division sanctioned by Urquiza on April 13, 1849, for control and monitoring of trade in shipping finance, leather, wood and charcoal made in the so-called Tablada Bret (or export), some of them established in this port. In 1876, the merchant Paraná José María Monzón, buyer finance, leather and nomadic pulpero Districts Antonio Thomas and Tala, decided to settle in the human settlement established around the port of the Tannery, lifting a two-storey building, asentandos in mud brick and lime, on the corner of which later would be called Calles Córdoba and Maipú. They work great general store, the first in the history of the people. He was also owner of the Tannery installed on street corner Paraná until Maipú, which together with the store would work until the first decade of the twentieth century. The Company The Colonizing Argentina landed on May 19, 1882 the first European immigrants, they were installed in the area of \u200b\u200bfarms outlined in the contract concessions, according to the fledgling settlement of Colonia Cerrito, and which would happen around the Port with the name of St. Martin in 1884. The settlement enterprise in 1891 hired a technician in urbanization, to delineate the urban radio grid to the old English style, name Pueblo San Martin. This label could never be imposed on the legendary name "Puerto Tannery" without the preposition -original item was recorded in the memory and feeling of its people with the highest grade of membership, lasting in most documents, records cadastral, census population, river and land surveys, maps, electoral registers and memory of those who called at the port, relegating to oblivion that informal name.
The September 30, 1919, Congress passed Law 10,927 of floating pier, authorizing the Executive building and installing a service bound for the coasting trade in the ports of inland rivers, among others, this port on the east bank of the River Paraná. On October 5, 1922 are applicable to its opening, accessing the procession of officials and spectators Planchada the brand new bridge, located on the parapet or wall of arched stone beach and rails for the movement of freight wagons.

To round out was a popular dance of attendees that filled the wide spaces of a floating pier for the occasion was graced from port to starboard with garlands, flags, and lit with tallow candles and lanterns and kerosene.
During the incessant passage of cargo and passenger ships, this people-Port was important outlet for agricultural products from farmers in the colonies and adjacent Tala District, which led to continuous growth of urban radio in 1947 was to record a stable population of 1,800 inhabitants, with a sustained commercial activity and primary industries: Sheds & Stores Collection and sale of grain, leather, wood and coal stores and / or convenience stores, Butchers, two Football Clubs and Paleta Fronton, church with two domes, Food and Lodging Houses, Blacksmith, carpentry, broom factory, harness, Body Repair, Office of Cargo Transportation companies and passengers by land and river, unloading goods at the dock of the firm Solari-Stagnaro, and a floating pier provided by the MOP, a large rotunda Plazoleta or cars at the end of the Slope of Calle Chacabuco, where you parked the carriage of goods colonial administrative divisions as numerous police station with a staff of more than six persons, School of First Letters Detachments Prefecture, Gendarmerie, Customs, Shipping Agencies, telegraph office, telephone, mail, etc.

The progress of railway and motor transport to provide higher speed and lower cost, river traffic dramatically relegated to idleness leading to numerous ports along the coast of Paraná, including Puerto Tannery, causing the removal of floating and public enterprises and located private in the village. Between late 1950 and early 1960, began a relentless exodus of businesses and families, causing a sharp decline of more than one and a half thousand people in the urban area, which fell to 307 inhabitants in 1970, reaching that in 1987 only 250 people are registered. To this state of affairs would not be a stranger to the apathy of successive provincial governments, which did nothing to solve the problems arising from the collapse of bridges over streams Tannery installed and the Chilcal, that the so-called "Camino de la Costa" allowed traffic Celina-Villa Urquiza-La Balsa, saving more than 30 km. travel to Parana. However, migration of people would begin to reverse slowly in the late twentieth century, with the return of original families and the establishment of residential weekends. Currently the community functions are carried out by a Governing Board elected by popular vote, the order of a police station with a stable framework of three people, the health of a Health Centre or First Aid Room "Antonio Tardelli" , unable to admission, the Education for Elementary School No. 37 "Estanislao Soler."

It has a butcher, two bakeries, five bars, store, fishermen, producers of honey and fresh cheeses to informal sales, a chapel for Catholic worship exercise, and adjacent building where Caritas provides various social and educational services.
Puerto Tannery (air Waltz)
Lyrics: Horacio Enrique Blanc.
Music: Horacio Enrique Blanc and Oscar Ruben "Rulo" Beades
That first time, almost in the fall,
your canyons and I could not believe.
who appeared behind the foliage
bright landscape that dazzled me.
I was surprised, great beauty,
majestic green and blue box.
Several other summer swallows,
prompt turns flying in from.
if I had not, to go with them,
as not miss if you're on my skin.
breathe the aroma sensual and wild,
that round in the air of dawn.
Puertito entrerriano: the " Tannery "
reflection of time escaped into the sea.
Puertito asleep, my beautiful Tannery,
gets me the image of your loneliness.
