History

Yucumo, according to historical data, was originally a settlement of the T'simane ethnic group, on the banks of the Yucumaj River, a compound word that comes from two phonemes " Yucu " which is the name of a fish that exists in the waters of this river " Maj " which means large deep, with the arrival of emigrants and the passage of time it was Castilianized to the current Yucumo.

it is known that the first camp was built on the banks of the Mitre stream. This stream acquired this name because in 1954 Mr. Abdón Mitre Pozo had a camp built to begin work on opening the first cattle trail to Palos Blancos, having taken three months to complete the opening with a group of 20 men.
