'''Los Hornos''' is a town in [[La Plata Partido|La Plata]], [[Buenos Aires province|Buenos Aires]], Argentina.

Los Hornos belongs to the ''[[Greater La Plata]]'' urban conglomerate. Its name, ([[Spanish language|Spanish]] for "the [brick] ovens" or "the furnaces"), refers to the several brick factories that were located in the area at the end of the 19th century, and which supplied the bricks for many of the buildings in the nascent city of [[La Plata]]. The area was heavily settled by Italian immigrants, and became renowned for its many family orchards.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://pasado.eldia.com/edis/20100213/laciudad0.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208074035/https://pasado.eldia.com/edis/20100213/laciudad0.htm |title=Una pujante comunidad, de festejo |language=es |website= El Dia|archive-date= 8 December 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last1=Vallejo|first1=Gustavo|year=2000|title= DE LOS APENINOS A LA PLATA.
