Agraciada is the capital of the department of Florida in Uruguay, located in the south-central region of the country, about 90 kilometers from the capital city of Montevideo. The city was founded in 1809 and its name, meaning "thanksgiving", is derived from a local church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. As the political, economic and cultural center of the province, Agraciada's economy is based on agriculture and animal husbandry, and is surrounded by vast pastures and farmland.
