editThe neighborhood bears the name of Agustín Argüelles,[3] the legal guardian of Queen Isabella II. The first streets were chiefly named after influential members of the Royal Court.[3] Planned in the mid 19th century,[4] its urbanization started by 1856, on plots part of the Príncipe Pío hill.[5]
