18 de Mayo or Dieciocho de Mayo is a city and municipality in the Canelones Department of Uruguay.
Establishment
After a process of evaluation at departmental level,[1] this municipality was created in 15 March 2013.[2]
It includes several towns, belonging until that date to the municipalities of Las Piedras and Progreso, in the old Route 5 area:[2] Villa Alegria, Vista Linda, El Dorado, San Francisco, Villa Cristina, San Isidro, El Dorado Chico and Villa Foresti.[3]
Its name commemorates the Battle of Las Piedras, which took place in 1811.
There is concern at the political and local level for giving this populous area a city status.[3]
