In the second half of the 19th century, Argentina experienced rapid agricultural development in the Pampas, and the importance of agricultural products from Argentina in the British market increased after 1890. It has been argued that this agricultural development was facilitated by the railway construction financed by British investment. However, previous studies do not clarify exactly how the British-owned railway was related to agricultural development in Argentina. In this paper, I examine the process of regional development in Argentina through a case study of the Central Argentine Railway. This paper consists of four parts. In Section I, I analyze the reasons the federal government sought to acquire foreign capital for the Central Argentine Railway project. Consequently, the purpose of the policy, as well as the process of making the land grant to the railway company, becomes clear. In Section II, I examine the founders and the establishment of the Central Argentine Railway Company. In Section III, I analyze the interests involved with the land grant, and clarify the reasons why the railway company decided to convert it to farming land. In Section IV I analyze the land development by the railway company.
