'''English Argentines''' (also known as '''Anglo-Argentines''') are citizens of [[Argentina]] or the children of Argentine citizens brought up in Argentina, who can claim ancestry originating in England. The English settlement in Argentina (the arrival of English emigrants),<ref name="IAA001"/> took place in the period after Argentina's independence from Spain through the 19th century. Unlike many other waves of [[immigration to Argentina]], English immigrants were not usually leaving England because of poverty or persecution, but went to Argentina as [[Business magnate|industrialists]] and major [[landowners]].<ref name="IAA001"/>

The United Kingdom had a strong economic influence in Argentina during the [[Victorian era|Victorian period]].<ref name="Guardian657865">((cite news|last=Kuper|first=Simon|title=The conflict lives on|work=The Guardian|date=25 February 2002|url=https://www.theguardian.com/falklands/story/0,11707,657865,00.html|url-status=unfit|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131207200425/http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2002/feb/25/falklands.world8|archive-date=7 December 2013|access-date=7 January 2008))</ref>
However the position of English Argentines was complicated when their economic influence was finally eroded by [[Juan Perón]]'s nationalisation of many British-owned companies in the 1940s and then by the [[Falklands War]] in 1982. Notable Argentines such as presidents of Argentina [[Raúl Alfonsín]] and [[Carlos Pellegrini]], adventurer [[Lucas Bridges]], [[Club Atletico Huracan|Huracan football club]] former player and president [[Carlos Babington]] and writer [[Jorge Luis Borges]] are partially of English descent.

==English immigration==
English settlers arrived in Buenos Aires in 1806 (then a Spanish colony) in small numbers, mostly as businessmen, when Argentina was an emerging nation and the settlers were welcomed for the stability they brought to commercial life. As the 19th century progressed more English families arrived, and many bought land to develop the potential of the Argentine pampas for the large-scale growing of crops. The English founded banks, developed the export trade in crops and animal products and imported the luxuries that the growing Argentine middle classes sought.<ref name="BSIA001">((cite news | title =Emigration of Scots, English and Welsh-speaking people to Argentina in the nineteenth century | publisher =British Settlers in Argentina—studies in 19th and 20th century emigration | url =http://www.argbrit.org/ | access-date =8 January 2008 | archive-date =9 November 2022 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20221109192251/http://argbrit.org/ | url-status =live ))</ref>

As well as those who went to Argentina as industrialists and major landowners, others went as [[Railroad engineer|railway engineers]], civil engineers and to work in banking and commerce.<ref name="IAA001"/> Others went to become [[whaler]]s, [[missionaries]] and simply to seek out a future. English families sent second and younger sons, or what were described as the [[black sheep]] of the family, to Argentina to make their fortunes in cattle and wheat. English settlers introduced [[Association football|football]] to Argentina.<ref name="Guardian657865"/> Some English families owned [[Plantation|sugar plantations]].<ref name="IAA001"/>

==Background==
In a treaty of 1825, the United Kingdom became one of the first countries to recognise the [[Argentine Declaration of Independence|independence of Argentina]]. English arrivals and investment played a large part in the development of Argentine railway and tramway lines, and also [[Agriculture in Argentina|Argentine agriculture]], livestock breeding, processing, refrigeration and export.<ref name="CEMA002a">((cite web|title=Historia general de las Relaciones Exteriores de la República Argentina: Hacia la crisis (1880–1890)|trans-title=General History of the Foreign Relations of the Argentine Republic: Towards the crisis (1880–1890)|language=es|work=[[Universidad del CEMA]]|url=http://www.argentina-rree.com/10/10-002a.htm|date=2000|access-date=10 March 2017|archive-date=1 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181001093102/http://www.argentina-rree.com/10/10-002a.htm|url-status=dead))</ref> At one point in the 19th century, ten per cent of British foreign investment was in Argentina, despite not being a colony.

English culture, or a version of it as perceived from outside, had a noted effect on the [[culture of Argentina]], mainly in the middle classes. In 1888 local Anglo-Argentines established the [[Hurlingham Club (Argentina)|Hurlingham Club]], based on [[Hurlingham Club|its namesake]] in London. The city of [[Hurlingham, Buenos Aires]] and [[Hurlingham Partido]] in Buenos Aires Province later grew up around the club and took their names from it. The [[Córdoba Athletic Club]], one of the oldest sports clubs in Argentina, was founded in 1882 by English men who lived in Córdoba working for the railways.((cn|date=March 2024))

In 1912 the well-known London [[department store]] [[Harrods]] opened a [[Harrods#Significant event timeline|store in Buenos Aires]]; the only Harrods ever opened outside London. [[Harrods Buenos Aires]] became independent of Harrods in the 1940s, but still traded under the Harrods name.
[[File:Harrods Buenos Aires.jpg|thumb|150px|Harrods on [[Florida Street]]. Opened in 1912 as their only overseas branch, it closed in 1996 and is now an exhibition hall.]]
[[Afternoon tea]] became standard amongst large segments of the population and generated the popular ''merienda'', an afternoon snack also known simply as ''la leche'' (milk) because it was served with tea or chocolate milk along with sweets. The Richmond café on [[Florida Street]] is a notable tea venue near the Harrods department store, now an exhibition hall.<ref name="nyt230685"/>

Gardened [[chalet]]s built by railway executives near [[train station|railway stations]] in suburbs including [[Banfield, Buenos Aires|Banfield]], [[Temperley]], [[Munro, Buenos Aires|Munro]], [[Ranelagh, Buenos Aires|Ranelagh]] and Hurlingham gave a pointed English atmosphere to local areas in Buenos Aires, especially in winter when shrouded in grey mists and fallen oak leaves over cobblestones. Belgrano R, within the [[Belgrano, Buenos Aires|Belgrano district]], is another train station known for the British neighbourhood around it originated by the railway. An Anglican church from 1896 and the [[Buenos Aires English High School]] founded by [[Alexander Watson Hutton]] in 1884 are both in this area.<ref name="baehs-main">((cite news|url=http://www.baehs.com.ar/espanol.htm|title=Buenos Aires High School|publisher=Buenos Aires English High School|access-date=6 January 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080822085649/http://www.baehs.com.ar/espanol.htm|archive-date=22 August 2008|df=dmy))</ref> Also important are the railway terminals [[Retiro railway station|Retiro]] in [[Retiro, Buenos Aires|Retiro neighbourhood]] and [[Constitución railway station|Constitución]].

Around 100,000 Anglo-Argentines are the descendants of English immigrants to Argentina.<ref name="nyt230685"/> They are one of the most successful immigrant groups of Argentina, gaining prominence in commerce, industry, and the professions. Many speak fluent English at home. An English-language newspaper, the ''[[Buenos Aires Herald]]'', was published daily in [[Buenos Aires]] from 1876 to 2017.

Anglo-Argentines have traditionally differed from their fellow Argentines by largely retaining strong ties with their mother country, including education and commerce.<ref name="Clarin05103">((cite news|last=Graham-Yooll|first=Andrew|author-link=Andrew Graham-Yooll|url=http://edant.clarin.com/diario/1999/03/07/e-05103d.htm|title=Dos nostalgias|trans-title=Two nostalgias|language=es|publisher=[[Clarín (Argentine newspaper)|Clarín]]|date=7 March 1999|access-date=10 March 2017|archive-date=17 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161117212840/http://edant.clarin.com/diario/1999/03/07/e-05103d.htm|url-status=live))</ref> There are many [[List of schools in Argentina|schools in Argentina]] that are [[Multilingualism|bilingual]], offering a British curriculum in English and the standard Argentine curriculum in Spanish, including [[Northlands School]], [[St. Mark's College, Monte Grande|St. Mark's College]], Balmoral College, St. Alban's College, [[St. George's College, Quilmes|St. George's College]], [[Belgrano Day School]] and [[Washington School, Buenos Aires, Argentina|Washington School]].

The Anglo-Argentine Society, based in London, was founded in 1948 and has about 900 members. It is a society for Argentine people living in the United Kingdom, particularly those of Anglo-Argentine heritage. One of its main aims is to promote understanding and friendship between the two countries.<ref name="AAS001">((cite news | title =The Anglo-Argentine Society | publisher =The Anglo-Argentine Society | url =http://www.angloargentinesociety.org.uk/ | access-date =30 June 2019 | archive-date =22 April 2012 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20120422075019/http://www.angloargentinesociety.org.uk/ | url-status =live ))</ref> Also in London is the [[Canning Club]], formerly the Argentine Club until [[Juan Perón]] [[nationalised]] Argentine-based British businesses, the main source of revenue of the club in the 1940s.

The [[Coghlan, Buenos Aires|Coghlan]] neighbourhood in Buenos Aires, known for its large English-style residences, was originally inhabited by English and Irish immigrants. [[Caballito, Buenos Aires|Caballito]] contains an area called the "English District".((cn|date=March 2024))

In 1794, the [[British Empire]] opened a consulate in [[San Nicolás, Buenos Aires|San Nicolás]],((citation needed|reason=Sounds like a third hand rumour|date=April 2015)) leading to the development of a large British community in the area, which became known as the "English borough".

==English place names==
((More citations needed section|date=January 2009))
A number of towns, villages and cities have English place names. These include [[Banfield, Buenos Aires|Banfield]] which is named after [[Edward Banfield (railroad engineer)|Edward Banfield]]. [[Wilde, Buenos Aires]], named in 1888 by Eduardo Wilde in honour of his uncle Dr. José Antonio Wilde, who was an English Argentine.<ref>Eduardo Wilde y el laicismo argentino Buenos Aires, 1948 by Solari, Juan Antonio.</ref> [[Hurlingham, Buenos Aires]] and [[Hurlingham Partido]] took their name from the [[Hurlingham Club (Argentina)|Hurlingham Club]] around which the city of Hurlingham grew. Others include the town of Lincoln, Washington and [[City Bell]], a small town in [[La Plata Partido|La Plata]] [[departments of Argentina|partido]], Buenos Aires province, which was founded around 1900 by English immigrants and which is named after its founder, George Bell. [[Temperley]] is named after the industrial and textile merchant George Temperley, who was born in 1823 in [[Newcastle upon Tyne]] in England. He helped to create [[Lomas de Zamora Partido]] and made possible the foundation of the town of Temperley. [[Allen, Río Negro]] is named after Charles Allen who managed the construction of the city's train station.

There are several train station-founded towns with English names in the country such as Roberts, Smith, Hereford and Henderson. The station of [[Monte Coman]] in Mendoza Province owes its name to a dispute with a British company which did not pay its local workers on time. The workers complained they had nothing to eat; an engineer responded, in bad Spanish, "coman monte" which was supposed to mean "eat the woods". In Córdoba province, English names can be traced in Morrison or James Craik, as well as Armstrong in Santa Fe province. ((Citation needed|date=June 2013))

===Polo===

Polo was first played in Argentina at the Hurlingham Club and the ''Argentine Polo Association'' was founded at the club in 1922. Argentina has since become a dominant power in international polo, and the [[Campeonato Argentino Abierto de Polo]] has been held annually since 1893 at the [[Campo Argentino de Polo]] in Buenos Aires.((citation needed|date=July 2022))

===Football===
((Main|Football in Argentina))

[[File:Alumni_1902_team.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Alumni Athletic Club|Alumni]] (photographed in 1902) was a successful football club formed by students of the Buenos Aires English High School that highly contributed to the popularity and consolidation of [[football in Argentina]]]]

English railway workers from [[Northern England]] founded the [[Buenos Aires Football Club]] on 9 May 1867 in Temple Street (now Viamonte) at a meeting organised by brothers Thomas and James Hogg who were originally from [[Yorkshire]]. The first football match to be played in Argentina was played at the Buenos Aires Cricket Club in [[Palermo, Buenos Aires]] on 20 June 1867. The match was played between two teams of British merchants, the White Caps and the Red Caps.<ref name="RSSSF001">((cite news | last =Gorgazzi | first =Osvaldo José | author2 =Bobrowsky, Josef | title =Some Information on the Early History of Football in Argentina | publisher =[[Rec.sport.soccer Statistics Foundation|RSSSF]] | date =18 February 1999 | url =https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/arg-early-info.html | access-date =8 January 2008 | archive-date =23 September 2022 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20220923230520/https://rsssf.org/tablesa/arg-early-info.html | url-status =live ))</ref>

[[Alumni Athletic Club]] was founded in 1898 as "English High School" (taking the name of the [[Buenos Aires English High School|school where the team came from]], and the club was the most successful during the first years of [[football in Argentina]]. The team debuted in the inaugural season of the recently formed [[Argentine Football Association]] in [[1893 in Argentine football|1893]] and played again in [[1895 in Argentine football|1895]] and [[1900 in Argentine football|1900]] under its original name. In [[1901 in Argentine football|1901]] they changed their name to "Alumni". They continued to play in the league until the club were disbanded in [[1911 in Argentine football|1911]].

British [[football club]]s tours over South America contributed to the spread and develop of football in the region during the first years of the 20th century. The first club to tour on the region was [[Southampton F.C.]] in 1904, followed by several teams (mainly from England although some Scotland clubs also visited South America) until 1929 with [[Chelsea F.C.]] being the last team to tour.<ref name=chelseatour>[https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/chelsea-satrip29.html South American Trip of Chelsea FC 1929] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230329121711/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/chelsea-satrip29.html |date=29 March 2023 )) by Pablo Ciullini on RSSSF</ref>

British teams were considered the best in the world by then, and some of them served as inspiration to establish football clubs in Argentina, helped by the immigration of British citizens that had arrived to work for British companies (mostly in railway construction). Clubs founded by English railway workers were [[Club Ferrocarril Midland|Ferrocarril Midland]] ([[Buenos Aires Midland Railway]], [[Ferro Carril Oeste]] ([[Buenos Aires Western Railway]]) and [[Talleres de Córdoba]] ([[Córdoba Central Railway]]), [[Rosario Central]] (originally "Central Argentine Railway Athletic Club" by [[Central Argentine Railway]] workers).((cn|date=March 2024))

Evidence of the influence of English settlers in Argentine football can be seen by club names, and the tradition of giving clubs English names although they were not founded by British immigrants. Some examples are [[Boca Juniors]], [[Club Atlético River Plate|River Plate]], [[All Boys]], [[Racing Club de Avellaneda|Racing Club]], [[Chaco For Ever]].

==Religion==
The majority of Argentines of English descent who claim a religion are Catholic rather than mainly Protestant denominations which predominate in England due to conversion or intermarriage with non-English Argentines. The [[Anglican Church of South America]] claims a membership of roughly 25,000, mostly living in Argentina, but including members in neighbouring countries.((cn|date=March 2024))

===Anglican church in Argentina===
[[Church of England|Anglican]] churches were established in Argentina, where the religion is otherwise overwhelmingly [[Catholic]], in the early 19th century to give a chaplaincy service to expatriate workers living in Argentina. In 1824 permission was given to hold Anglican church services, and in 1831 St. John's Church was built in [[San Nicolás, Buenos Aires]]<ref name="IAA001">((cite web|title=Anglicans in Argentina: Chaplaincies to the expatriate British|publisher=Iglesia Anglicana Argentina|url=http://www.anglicanaargentina.org.ar/English/HTML/church_home.htm|access-date=7 January 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070212234737/http://www.anglicanaargentina.org.ar/English/HTML/church_home.htm|archive-date=12 February 2007|df=dmy))</ref><ref name="FIN18"/> on land donated in 1830 by Governor [[Juan Manuel de Rosas]] for the benefit of the new [[St. John the Baptist]] Anglican Church. It is the oldest in existence in Buenos Aires.

English naval captain and [[Mission (Christian)|Christian missionary]], [[Allen Gardiner]] founded the ''[[South American Missionary Society|Patagonia Mission]]'' (later renamed the South American Missionary Society) in 1844 to recruit, send, and support Protestant Christian missionaries. His first mission, which included a surgeon and three fishermen was sent to the [[Yaghan people|Yaghan]]s on the island of [[Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego]]. They arrived at [[Picton, Lennox and Nueva|Picton island]] in [[Tierra del Fuego]] in December 1850, but their food began to run out; the supplies they had expected did not arrive, and by September 1851 they had died from sickness and hunger. The Patagonia Mission continued and in 1854 changed its name to the South American Missionary Society.<ref name="IAA001"/>

In January 1869 the Society established a mission at [[Ushuaia]] in Tierra del Fuego under its superintendent, [[Waite Hockin Stirling]].<ref>Bridges, E L (1948) ''The Uttermost Part of the Earth'' Republished 2008, Overlook Press ((ISBN|978-1-58567-956-0))</ref> On 21 December 1869 Stirling was ordained at [[Westminster Abbey]] as the first [[Bishop of the Falkland Islands]] and at the time had episcopal authority over the whole of South America, until power was transferred to the [[Bishop of Buenos Aires]].<ref name="FIN18">((cite journal|last=Millam|first=Peter J.|title=The Falklands – The World's Largest Diocese: "A Noble History and a Glorious Past"|journal=Falkland Islands Newsletter|issue=70|publisher=[[Falkland Islands Association]]|location=Falkland Islands|date=August 1997|url=http://www.falklands.info/history/histarticle18.html|access-date=7 January 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050506114632/http://www.falklands.info/history/histarticle18.html|archive-date=6 May 2005))</ref> In 1914 the first mission, Misión Chaqueña, was founded in the north of Argentina.

The Anglican Diocese of Argentina is part of the [[Iglesia Anglicana del Cono Sur de las Americas|Anglican Province of the Southern Cone of America]] and is headed by the current bishop of Buenos Aires.<ref name="FIN19">((cite journal|title=Quick facts: The Anglican Church of the Southern Cone of America|journal=Anglican Journal|publisher=[[Anglican Church of Canada|The Anglican Church of Canada]]|location=Canada|date=30 November 2007|url=http://www.anglicanjournal.com/100/article/quick-facts-the-anglican-church-of-the-southern-cone-of-america/|access-date=7 January 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080719161935/http://www.anglicanjournal.com/100/article/quick-facts-the-anglican-church-of-the-southern-cone-of-america/|archive-date=19 July 2008))</ref>
