History The region was first mentioned in 1582 by Spaniard Juan de Garay, who noted the area as being abundant in sea lions. The region was referred to as Lobería Grande.
The partido where Lobería is located was founded in 1839. For over 50 years, there was a long-standing debate over whether the partido's seat should be located by the sea or in an inland location. The latter was eventually decided on, with Lobería being established as the seat on January 31, 1891.
The anarchist poet Iris Pavón was born in Lobería in 1906.
A college, the University of Lobería, was opened in the town in April 2019, becoming the first such center in Lobería. As of 2024, the facility enrolls over 300 students.
