San Eugenio was one of the first estancias founded in Casupá / Arroyo Milan Region, Department of Florida, Uruguay, in the 1880s by Don Eugenio Barragan, then exceeding 5000 hectare. It changed hands four times since then, belonging to the Caravia family after the 1920s, the Sacco in the 1950-70s, later on the Bartesaghis until 2004.
San Eugenio has always mainly been a cattle ranch, with some grain and oilseed farming being done in the 1960s to 90s.
It now consists of a very small fraction of its original size
