Florida Oeste's main commercial areas are centered on General San Martín and Mitre Avenues.HistoryIn 1907 the Córdoba Central Railway extended its tracks to the lands where Florida Oeste exists nowadays. The station was a precarious stop with no name, informally nicknamed La Trocha (The Gauge). In 1913, a local company, Narciso Agüero & Cía., was granted a concession to pave San Martín Avenue. While works were in progress, a big poster with the name of the company was placed there so people named it as "Agüero". In 1920 the old roof was replaced with a building with sheds. By request from the neighborhoods, the station was officially named "Florida".
