Monteagudo is an Argentine town located in the Simoca Department of the Province of Tucumán. It is located on National Route 157, 500 m from the Medina River.
The town was born in 1870, with the laying of the railway. It was originally called Villa Télfener, in honour of José Télfener, builder of the line. Later the name was adopted in reference to Bernardo de Monteagudo, Tucumán and intellectual of the May Revolution. The town has been growing in population at the expense of many people in the area who lose their homes due to the flooding of the Medina, Chico and Gastona rivers.
