Updates: 

I've updated the populations to the 2011 census figures.

For now (2014), Argentina is not observing daylight saving time, so I removed the column showing which provinces were observing it.

Update 5 to Geopolitical Entities and Codes, the successor to FIPS PUB 10-4, was issued on 2011-08-31. It changes the status of Ciudad de Buenos Aires from district to autonomous city.

Newsletter II-2, an update to the ISO 3166-2 standard, is dated 2010-06-30. The only change for Argentina is to reflect the new formal name for Ciudad de Buenos Aires.

Argentina has been an independent country throughout the 20th century. It has maintained its boundaries relatively unchanged during that period. It has had border disputes and adjustments with Chile. Argentina has also claimed the Islas Malvinas, or Falkland Islands, but was unable to enforce its claim in the 1982 war with Great Britain. It has claims in Antarctica which have been held in abeyance by the Antarctic Treaty. Areas and populations are given here without the claims.

24 divisions						40,117,096	2,780,403	1,073,520
Province: These divisions are provincias (provinces), except for Ciudad de Buenos Aires (an autonomous city). HASC: Hierarchical administrative subdivision codes. The last two letters are the same as the subdomain codes assigned by Argentina to identify Internet URLs by province, except that I added the code for Ciudad de Buenos Aires, which is not covered by this standard. ISO: Codes from ISO 3166-2. FIPS: Codes from FIPS PUB 10-4. IATA: Codes from the IATA Airline Coding Directory, used to locate airports by province. UPU: Old province codes from "Postal Addressing Systems". The UPU advises that these have been superseded by the ISO codes. Population: 2010-10-27 census. Capital: Common name is the part not in parentheses; adding parenthetical parts gives formal name.

Postal codes: 

In April, 1999, Argentina's postal service opened a new type of postal code to public use. It is called CPA, for Código Postal Argentino. A CPA postal code consists of a letter, four digits, and three more letters. The first letter is a province code. The postal service calls it a "letra de la vieja patente" (letter of the old patent), and it appears to be the same as the ISO 3166-2 code for the province. The four digits are the same as the old postal code. The final three letters are a routing code for an individual block.

Further subdivisions:

See the Departments of Argentina page.

The provinces are further subdivided into departamentos (departments), except for Buenos Aires, which is divided into partidos (parts), and Ciudad de Buenos Aires, which has no internal divisions on this level, but contains 15 comunas.

The lowest-level administrative divisions are municipios (municipalities), often called partidos. These vary from province to province. In some provinces there are several classes of municipality. Also, in some provinces there is territory not included in any municipality.

Territorial extent: 

Buenos Aires province includes Isla Martín García, which is surrounded by Uruguayan waters in the Río de la Plata estuary.

Corrientes province includes Isla Apipé, an island separated from the rest of the province by a channel of the Alto Paraná River which belongs to Paraguay.

Tierra del Fuego includes the Argentine section of the island of Tierra del Fuego, as well as several unrecognized claims of Argentina. These claims are to the Islas Malvinas (Falkland Islands), its associated islands (South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands), and a sector of Antarctica. I list the Antarctic claim under Antarctica.

Argentina and Chile have had numerous boundary disputes and border adjustments over the years.

There is a four-corners boundary where the provinces of Mendoza, La Pampa, Neuquén, and Río Negro come together. The borders are defined by the Río Colorado and the meridian of 68° 15' W.

The UN LOCODE page  for Argentina lists locations in the country, some of them with their latitudes and longitudes, some with their ISO 3166-2 codes for their subdivisions. This information can be put together to approximate the territorial extent of subdivisions.

Origins of names: 

1. Buenos Aires: = Good Winds. Former name Nuestra Señora Santa Maria de los Buenos Aires, after the Virgin Mary, revered in Seville as protectress of sailors.
2. Catamarca: from Quechua qata: slope and marka: region.
3. Chaco: from Guaraní chako: hunting ground.

10. La Pampa: = The Prairie
11. La Rioja: from the region of that name in Spain.
12. Los Andes: from the mountain range, which was probably named for an ethnic group called Anti.
13. Mendoza: after Pedro de Mendoza, early explorer, or Don Garcia Hurtado de Mendoza, Chilean governor.
14. Misiones: = Missions, for Jesuit missions to the natives.
15. Río Negro: from the river of that name (= Black River).
16. Santa Cruz: = Holy Cross; Magellan reached the site of the port on 1520-09-14, the feast day of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.
17. Santa Fe: = Holy Faith
18. Santiago del Estero: = Saint James of the Estuary
19. Tierra del Fuego: = Land of Fire. Magellan saw fires burning on the island.

Change history: 

I have found several Web sources for Argentina's change history. To help evaluate their contents, here are some reformatted excerpts from each page.

1776: Río de la Plata viceroyalty (virreinato) formed.
1803: Río de la Plata viceroyalty divided into eight intendencies (intendencias) by the Royal Ordinance of Governors (Real Ordenanza de Intendentes). Three of these intendencies correspond to parts of present-day Argentina: Córdoba del Tucumán, Salta del Tucumán, and Buenos Aires.

At the same time, the maritime gobernación of Tierra del Fuego and the military gobernación of Comodoro Rivadavia were suppressed, and two more provinces, Chubut and Patagonia, were created for the territories delimited by the same law. The capitals of these provinces, excluding Formosa, were provisionally set as Neuquén, Viedma, Rawson, and Río Gallegos.
~1955: Provisional government of the 1955 revolution divided the territory of Patagonia in two parts. Modifying law no. 14408, it created Santa Cruz province (capital Río Gallegos), with the same land as the old Santa Cruz territory, before the military gobernación of Comodoro Rivadavia was formed. Soon afterward, Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur national territory created by annexing Argentine claims to the Malvinas and Antarctica to Tierra del Fuego.

The Fundación MAPFRE TAVERA (source [6]), devoted to preservation of historical documents of the Iberoamerican community, says:
1776: La Plata viceroyalty (virreinato) created. Its jurisdiction included the old provinces of Tucumán, Buenos Aires, and Paraguay, the governments (gobiernos) of Upper Peru, and the region of Cuyo, which split from the old Captaincy General of Chile. Its territory corresponds roughly to modern Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and the eastern part of Uruguay.
1782: The viceroyalty was subdivided into the general superintendency of Buenos Aires and the intendencies of Asunción, Córdoba del Tucumán (Córdoba, la Rioja, and Cuyo), Salta del Tucumán (Salta, Jujuy, Santiago del Estero), Chaves or Chuquisaca, Potosí, Cochabamba, and La Paz.

The Argentine Embassy to Spain (source [8]) says:
1880: Buenos Aires, the city, was federalized under the name "Capital Federal".
1882: La Plata was founded as capital of Buenos Aires province.

Ambitoweb, a travel service (source [7]), says:

1776: Río de la Plata viceroyalty created.
1816: National independence proclaimed. Buenos Aires declared capital of the United Provinces of Río de la Plata.

Previously known changes:
1776: Río de la Plata viceroyalty (virreinato) formed, with Buenos Aires as capital.
1878-10-11: Patagonia gobernación (territory) created, with Mercedes de Patagones as capital

~1935: Capital of La Pampa moved from General Acha to Santa Rosa
1943-09-23: Los Andes territory (capital: San Antonio de los Cobres) divided among Catamarca, Jujuy, and Salta provinces. In the division, Catamarca received the departamento of Antofagasta de la Sierra, about 27,886 sq. km.; Jujuy got Susques departamento, 9,554 sq. km.; and Salta got Pastos Grandes and San Antonio de los Cobres departamentos, 25,200 sq. km.
1946: Comodoro Rivadavia territory split from Chubut, taking approximately the southern half of the territory. They were reunited in 1957.
1950: Chaco territory renamed Presidente Juan Perón
1951-08-10: Status of Presidente Juan Perón and La Pampa changed from territories to provinces
1952-01-29: Name of La Pampa province changed to Eva Perón (unromantically, the two Perón provinces were about 750 km. apart at their closest)
1953: Misiones changed from territory to province
1955-06-15: Chubut, Formosa, Neuquén, and Río Negro changed from territories to provinces; Patagonia province formed by merging Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego
1956-04-27: Presidente Juan Perón and Eva Perón provinces renamed Chaco and La Pampa, respectively
1957: Patagonia province split to form Santa Cruz province and Tierra del Fuego national territory, officially named Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur
1991-06-01: The status of Tierra del Fuego was changed from national territory to province (its constitution took effect on this date)
1996-08-06: Under the constitutional reform of 1994, Distrito Federal gained a new constitution. Its official name is now "Ciudad de Buenos Aires" or, with equal standing, "Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires" (Autonomous City of Buenos Aires). The date I have chosen to mark this transition is that when the Chief and Vice-chief of Government assumed their duties. It is also the date of the first issue of the Official Bulletin, reporting appointments made on that date.
The names Distrito Federal and Capital Federal have both been used for this entity. From the documents I have available, it appears that its official name was Distrito Federal when it split from the province of Buenos Aires in 1880. Capital Federal is undoubtedly common in popular use, even under the new constitution, but it doesn't necessarily follow that it is or ever has been the official name. The Statesman's Year-Book calls it "Federal Capital", and has at least since 1957, but this represents an English translation of the name and may not be an indication of the Spanish original. The Rand McNally New International Atlas used the name Distrito Federal at least until 1990. The Office of the Geographer (source [10]) says, "the accompanying map [dated 1963-12] lists the Capital Federal. This has been recently changed to the Distrito Federal". The CIA World Factbook used the name Distrito Federal until at least its 2000 edition, but currently calls it "Buenos Aires Capital Federal". I would be grateful if anyone can provide me with documentation proving that the official name was ever Capital Federal, or better yet, specifying the date on which it became official.
There have also been minor boundary adjustments over the years, both external (with Chile) and internal (between adjacent provinces, especially in the north and west).
