Eduardo Castex is located on National Highway Nº35 and the Provincial Highway Nº102. Due to the significance of the railway, the 20 September, 1908, was selected as the city´s foundation date after a special train, coming from Buenos Aires, arrived then to the city as a consequence of the festivities that the Italian community, recently settled, had prepared in homage to their national history: "The Italian Day".
