St nicolas de los Arroyos is a town Argentina, located at the northern end of the Buenos Aires province, near the city of rosary beads. It is the head of the San Nicolás party.
The city is located on the edge of an arm of the Paraná River, in the Zárate-Rosario industrial corridor. It borders to the south with the district of Pergamino, to the east with Ramallo, to the west with the Arroyo Yaguarón, and to the north with the Arroyo del Medio, natural limit with the Province of Santa Fe. From these natural limits its name arises "de los Arroyos ". San Nicolás does not adjoin the Paraná river that just caresses the coasts of the district of Ramallo with its waters, the same place where the Siderar steel factory, of the Techint group, is located.
