This is as a result of a Welsh emigrant colony that was established there in the late 18th Century by the famous Welsh bard and poet Iolo Morgannwg (pronounced 'Yolo Morganoog'). He led a group of several hundred Welsh pioneers desperate to escape the poverty of their native land, but to a new country that was not embroiled in war as the USA was with England at the time. The emigrants chartered a number of sailing vessels and landed in Southern Argentina about 3 weeks after setting off from Newport in South Wales- over the following decades, several thousand more Welsh settlers went out to join them.
The new arrivals established good relationships with the native Pueblo Indians and Hispanics, intermarrying and introducing them to Welsh culture, language, sport and literature. This is why to this very day, Patagonia still has many Welsh speakers, and several towns & districts with Welsh names.
