PAOLASSO, Pablo. The population and territory in Tucumán during the 19th century. Bol. estud. geogr. [online]. 2023, n.120, pp.193-236.  Epub Mar 05, 2024. ISSN 2525-1813.  http://dx.doi.org/10.48162/rev.40.036.

Throughout the 19th century, the province of Tucumán will go through different demographic and territorial transformations. During this period the population will multiply almost 10 times and will be characterized by an important process of spatial redistribution, which will imply, in turn, different processes of destruction/construction of the territory. On the economic level, the transition from a mercantile economy to a capitalist one will occur, based on the development of the sugar agroindustry in the last quarter of the century. Thus, at the end of the century, the province will become one of the most thriving in the country. This article describes and analyzes these transformations during the 19th century.

Keywords : Population; Territory; Tucuman; Sugar Industry; XIX Century.
