Julián Augusto Saldívar

The city is approximately 20 km due east from the town of Ypané which borders the Paraguay River.Its most notable location is on the 27th kilometer where the road breaks off at a fork called Tres Bocas.At this fork, travelers can gain access to the southern region of Paraguay.Don Leiva set up a trading post to invite travelers to come and buy from his market and was quick to help strengthening others that were less fortunate than he was.Upon his death in the mid 1980s, his family and the people of his community tried to rename the city of Julián Augusto Saldívar back to Posta Leiva in remembrance of him and his great compassion toward his family and the people he worked with every day in the region.
