It lies in the north of the province, by National Route 9, about 27 km south of the provincial border with Santiago del Estero and 170 km north-northeast of the provincial capital Córdoba.

Villa de María was founded in 1796 or 1797 by the Marquis Rafael de Sobremonte (then to be Viceroy of the Río de la Plata), with the name of Río Seco. Its name was changed to the current one by provincial governor Roque Ferreira on 26 May 1858.
