Etymology an legend

The name o the city came frae an auld 18t yearhunner legend. At that time, thare wis a brave horse that wint tae the lagoon tae drink watter.

The natives an the sodgers o the Argentine Airmy (wha wur splorin an ettlin tae tak control o the laund frae the native fowk), wantit tae tame the horse. Thare wur mony attempts tae catch it, but the horse wis brave an it wis aye fechtin, defendin its freedom. Ane day, a group o sodgers corner it agin the lagoon, in a ravine, an whan thay wur sure that it haednae escaped, the horse jumpt tae the watter, killin itsel. It prefert daith tae captivity.

The libertarian spirit o the horse led tae the legend o the Bragado horse spreadin athort the place an gied it's name tae the city.
