This article discusses the social, cultural, environmental and economic importance that the Uruguay River has had for diverse social groups living within its drainage basin from the eighteenth century to the present, considering different forms of interaction with the river and nearby areas. It also discusses the significance of the Uruguay River as a permeable frontier, a place of circulation for merchandise, people, and ideas in the border zone between Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. Finally, it discusses the profound socio-environmental transformations that took place in the Uruguay River basin over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and the attempts to preserve and restore regional environments and landscapes linked to the river.
