Nacimiento (English: Nativity) is a rural town of Chile situated in the Bio-Bio Region, 550km south of Santiago de Chile, and 104km from the closest major town of the region, Concepcion.
It was first used as a fort for the Spanish armada to advance and control the territory, and it was officially baptised on Christmas Eve of december of 1603 with the name of Nacimiento (Nativity). For a long time it was considered the last frontier of Chile, but after the arrival of foreign investors and developers it became a very prosperous city. The Palacio Gleisner is testament to that early prosperity.
Nacimiento covers 935 square km and has a population of approximately 26,000 residents, the town of Nacimiento comprises about 1.4% of the total population of the region.
Among the rivers that surround the city include the Bio-Bio and the Vergara rivers. It’s important to mention that to the industrial practices of lumber companies such as Mininco, Inforsa and Sante Fe (among others) have caused contaminants to pollute the waters of the Vergara River, which was the life source of local agricultural cultivation.
