The Argentina Independence Day is celebrated every year on July 9. This date originates in commemoration of the signing of the Argentine Declaration of Independence, on Tuesday July 9, 1816, in the house of Francisca Bazán de Laguna. In 1941, the building was declared a National heritage site. The decision to become independent was taken by the Congress of Tucumán, which chose the city of San Miguel de Tucumán from the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata, which proclaimed the political independence of the country from the Spanish Monarchy and also renounced all foreign domination.
Throughout time, several places, streets, ships, bonds and companies took the name of "9 de Julio" in honour of the national date, such is the case of the July 9 Avenue in the city of Buenos Aires, July 9 in the city of Resistencia and July 9 in the city of Formosa, two cruisers of the Argentine Navy, the football team Club Atlético 9 de Julio in the city of Rafaela or the town of Nueve de Julio in the province of Buenos Aires, town of July 9 Corrientes, among others.
