The first Pan-American Games were held in this city.
Buenos Aires, Argentina. South American countries felt underrepresented in the Olympic Games, so they developed games of their own. Originally scheduled for 1940 the games were postponed by WWII. In 1948 the idea was revived and games held in 1951.
