'''Tandil''' is the main city of the homonymous [[Partidos of Buenos Aires|partido]] (department), located in [[Argentina]], in the southeast of [[Buenos Aires Province]], just north-northwest of [[Tandilia hills]]. The city was founded in 1823, and its name originates from the ''[[Piedra Movediza]]'' ("Moving Stone") which fell in 1912. The city is the birthplace of many notable sports personalities, as well as former president of Argentina [[Mauricio Macri]].
 
==Geography==
Tandil is located {{convert|180|m|ft}} above sea level and its coordinates are {{Coord|37|19|08|S|59|08|05|W|}}. The city borders [[Rauch, Buenos Aires|Rauch]] and [[Azul, Buenos Aires|Azul]] (to the north), [[Ayacucho, Buenos Aires|Ayacucho]] and [[Balcarce,_Buenos_Aires_Province Buenos Aires Province|Balcarce]] (to the east), [[Lobería]], [[Necochea Partido|Necochea]] and [[Benito Juárez Partido|Benito Juárez]] (to the south) and Azul and Benito Juárez (to the west).
 
Tandil is situated approximately midway between [[La Plata]] (the provincial capital), {{convert|330|km|abbr=on}} to its NE, and [[Bahía Blanca]], lying the same distance to its SW; it is also {{convert|160|km|mi}} NW of [[Mar del Plata]], and {{convert|360|km|mi}} SSW of [[Buenos Aires]]. Tandil is in a zone within the [[Pampas]] known as the [[Humid Pampas]].
 
According to the 2010 census ([[National Institute of Statistics and Census of Argentina|INDEC]]), Tandil had a population of 116,916. The total area of the Tandil partido is {{convert|4,935|km2|abbr=on}}.
 
===Climate===
Tandil's climate is mild and humid (classified as ''Cfb'' or an [[oceanic climate]] under the [[Köppen climate classification]]),<ref name=Peel>{{cite journal | author=Peel, M. C. and Finlayson, B.

Mornings are often cold in autumn, winter and spring, and generally fresh in the summer. Fog is very common in autumn and winter, when frosts are also common. Minimum temperatures below {{convert|-5|C|F}} have been recorded in the winter months. Rainfall occurs throughout the year but more frequently in summer. [[Snow]] and [[heat wave]]s are not very common.
