Anguil is a village and rural locality (municipality) in the Capital Department, in La Pampa Province in Argentina. It is located at the edge of National Route 5, approximately 26 km from the city of Santa Rosa.
==Toponym== Anguil comes from Mapudungun and means olivillo-olivillo or lands of olivillo. This is how Elisha Tello translates it because the olivillo is a plant that is abundant in the region and its color gives the fields a silvery hue. However, according to Enrique Stieben, a compiler of Pampean Aboriginal terms, he indicates that it means "dry calden" or "dry bush."
