Argentina has the largest communities of ethnic Montenegrins outside Europe. During the early 1900s, Montenegrins from the Kingdom of Montenegro began emigrating to the country, and nowadays there are approximately 50,000 Montenegrins and descendants living in Argentina. Currently most of them are settled in the northern province of Chaco, while the remaining part lives in Buenos Aires, Tandil, Venado Tuerto, and General Madariaga, a town of around 5,000 inhabitants.
