Juan Alberto Donato Montes Bradley (December 12, 1902 – June 30, 1986)[1] was Surveyor, Historian and Trustee of the Historical Society of Rosario, author of numerous articles and essays.

He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[2] As Technical Advisor to the Comisión Nacional del Río Dulce, Montes oversaw tech-specs pertaining to the mega project for hydroelectric power development in Santiago del Estero, Argentina. Juan A. Montes was also involved -from 1948 until 1956- in planning the Ciudad Universitaria a modern campus-complex for the Universidad Nacional del Litoral in Rosario and several major improvements compiled under a single work-project known as Plan Rosario. In 1973 Juan A. Montes was appointed by Rector to the Universidad Tecnológica Nacional (UTN) by Héctor José Cámpora, then president of Argentina. At the time Montes was closely affiliated to the left-wing of the Peronist known as Montoneros. His son, Roald, a Montonero, was killed in what became known as the Battle of La Plata along with several other partisans in (November, 1976) during the first months of the military coup led by General Jorge Rafael Videla. Juan A. Montes remained as Rector of the UTN throughout the third presidential period of Juan Domingo Perón. The events of 1976 led Juan A. Montes into a self-imposed exile in Rosario where he became involved in the research of the facts leading to the founding of the City Rosario, the results were later published under the title: Santiago Montenegro, fundador de la ciudad de Rosario[3] Juan Alberto Montes died in Rosario, Santa Fe, on June 30, 1986. The School of Urbanism's Library at the Universidad de Rosario was named Alberto D. Montes in his memory.[4] On December 17, 1997, the City of Rosario ordered[5][6] to rename a street after Mr. Montes. The avenue is known as "Avenida Agrimensor Alberto D. Montes".
