Rafaela is a city located in the center-west of the province of Santa Fe, Argentina. It is the capital of the Castellanos department and the third most populous and important urban center in the province, behind Rosario and the provincial capital, Santa Fe.
The name was designated by its founder, businessman Guillermo Lehmann, in honor of Rafaela Rodríguez de Egusquiza, wife of his friend and business partner, Félix Egusquiza, who were the original owners of the area.
Rafaela is located in the west-central part of Santa Fe province, along National highway 34. It is 96 km northwest of the city of Santa Fe, 234 km from Rosario, 292 km from Córdoba, and 530 km from Buenos Aires.
