Hungarians in Argentina | Magyarok Argentínában

History of the community

The pen, the deodorant, the washing machine and the automatic box of the cars are just some of the inventions that the Hungarian immigrant Laszlo Biro left us as a legacy. I discovered the strong ties that unite us with this community and also find out how the "Inventor's Day" came about in our country.

The greatest flow of immigration occurred, as in many other communities, in the times of the First and Second World War. The majority were peasants, people with a trade who came with the desire to cultivate the land, which is why they settled in the interior of the country, especially in Córdoba, Misiones and Chaco.

According to Ladislao Kurucz in his book "The Hungarians in Argentina", 87% of the Hungarian immigrants who arrived in Argentina in the period between the wars came from Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Romania and were mostly peasants and workers. A second stream was the one that came because of the Second World War. These immigrants were mostly intellectuals, industrialists and businessmen who settled in the cities, especially in the Buenos Aires City. Around 1930 a strong Hungarian presence could be identified in the center, around Lavalle street. Within a few blocks, there were four Hungarian restaurants: Kék Duna ”(Blue Danube) in Maipú 433,“ Hungaria ”in Av. Córdoba 377,“ Vadászkurt ”(hunting horn) in Reconquista 458 and opposite the latter,“ Arany Bika ” (Golden Bull), whose owner must have come from Debrecen, where the famous inn with the same name is located.

László József Bíró or Ladislao José Biro (born September 29, 1899, Budapest, Hungary—died October 24, 1985, Buenos Aires, Argentina)was a Hungarian-Argentine inventor who patented the first easy-to-use writing implement generally known as the biro in Britain and the ballpoint pen in the United States.

Bíró began his career as a journalist and was the editor of Hongrie in 1933–34. He also enjoyed some success as a Surrealist painter. In that same period he conceived of a writing tool that would incorporate its own supply of fast-drying ink. Drawing in part on a design patented earlier by the Czech Wencel Climes (Václav Klimeš), which was in need of further development, and helped by his brother György and especially by the Hungarian machinist Andor Goy, he completed work on his first ballpoint pen in 1931 and exhibited it at the Budapest World Fair. He was invited to Argentina by the president, Augustín Justo, and formed a company there to manufacture his pen. On June 10, 1943, Bíró secured an Argentine patent for his ballpoint pen, which was sold there under the name Eterpen.
