Ciudad del
Este, city
in eastern Paraguay,
on the Paraná
River, near the Brazil
border. Founded in 1957
and formerly known as
Puerto Presidente Stroessner,
Ciudad del Este grew
from a village to an
important city during
the late 1970s and early
1980s. This rapid expansion
coincided with the construction
of the massive Itaipu
Dam (1975-1982) on the
Paraná.
