History

On 27 June 1870, a "Pueblo" (village) named "Carmen" was created by the Act of Ley Nº 1.112 on the land belonging to Nicasia Figueredo de Migues, between two streams of the Solís river. It probably corresponds to the village eventually named "Migues". On 15 May 1925, its status was elevated to "Villa" (town) by the Act of Ley Nº 7.837. On 26 June 1970, its status was further elevated to "Ciudad" (city) by the Act of Ley Nº 13.866.{{cite web |url=http://www0.parlamento.gub.uy/leyes/AccesoTextoLey.asp?Ley=13866 |title=Ley Nº 13.866 |publisher=República Oriental del Uruguay, Poder Legislativo |date=1970 |accessdate=7 September 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20130421201306/http://www0.parlamento.gub.uy/leyes/AccesoTextoLey.asp?Ley=13866 |archivedate=21 April 2013 }}
