Comodoro Rivadavia is a Patagonian coastal city with a seaport and General Enrique Mosconi International Airport. It is the largest city in Chubut province and a center of Argentina's oil industry.
Founded in 1901 as a port for the wool trade, it transformed after oil was discovered nearby in 1907. Petroleum has shaped its economy and growth ever since.
