The Welsh Colony in Patagonia, was established in 1865, when over 150 people from various parts of Wales sailed on the Mimosa to settle in the Chubut Valley, in Southern Argentina. Over the following fifty years, hundreds of Welsh people emigrated there, and established a number of towns and villages.In 2015, the Society will be celebrating 150 years of Y Wladfa.

The Welsh Language Scheme in Chubut has been in operation since 1997 and has contributed extensively towards maintaining and promoting the Welsh language and culture in Y Wladfa. Comparing the situation now with that in 1996 the breadth, intensity and nature of the influence of the scheme can be seen clearly. You can read more about the scheme here
