=== 20th century ===
In the early 20th century, many Europeans (particularly Spaniards and Italians but also thousands from Central Europe) immigrated to the city. In 1908, 30% of the city's population of 300,000 was foreign-born. In that decade the city expanded quickly: new neighborhoods were created and many separate settlements were annexed to the city, among which were the [[Villa del Cerro]], [[Pocitos]], the [[Prado, Montevideo|Prado]] and [[Colón Sudeste|Villa Colón]]. The [[Parque Rodó|Rodó Park]] and the [[Estadio Gran Parque Central]] were also established, which served as ''poles'' of urban development.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Crecimiento Demográfico en el 1900 |url=http://www.tacuy.com.uy/Servicios/Montevideo/index.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090302094006/http://www.tacuy.com.uy/Servicios/Montevideo/index.htm |archive-date=2 March 2009 |access-date=17 November 2009 |website=Tacuy.com.uy |language=es}}</ref> During the early 20th century, Uruguay saw huge social changes with repercussions primarily in urban areas.
