Viña del Mar (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈbiɲa ðel ˈmaɾ]; meaning "Vineyard of the Sea" or "Vineyard-on-Sea") is a city and commune on central Chile's Pacific coast. Often referred to as La Ciudad Jardín ("The Garden City"), the city is located on the central coast, on the basins of the Reñaca and Marga Marga streams and along the shores of Valparaíso Bay. It was founded under its current name on 28 December 1874, by the Chilean politician and writer José Francisco Vergara, who, together with his wife Mercedes Alvares, inherited the lands where the city is now located.
