Artigas

Department in northwest Uruguay, bounded by Argentina and Brazil; area 11,928 sq km/4,605 sq mi; population (1996) 69,145. Its capital city is Artigas, which faces Brazil across the River Cuareim. The department is the least populated of all Uruguayan regions. Mainly pastoral, it suffers badly from droughts. The region's economy is dependent upon agriculture and cattle grazing.

Artigas was named in honour of José Gervasio Artigas, a 19th-century Uruguayan patriot who championed independence. The town is known for its good quality amethysts.
