On October 20th 1886, the city of Trelew in the province of Chubut, Patagonia in Argentina was founded by Lewis Jones. It is the largest and most populous city in the lower valley of the Chubut River, with an estimated population of 100,000 people. Trelew's foundation is linked with "Y Wladfa" (Welsh settlement in Argentina), one of the leaders of which was Lewis (Luis) Jones, who acted as a spokesman to deal with the Argentine government in the beginning of the 1860s and town was named in his honour. Trelew was the starting point for the Central Chubut Railway line that would link the lower Chubut River Valley toPuerto Madryn.
