| Sumario: | In order to “stabilize” the borders, the bourbon reformism introduced protection and settlement actions. In the southern area of the Intendencia de Córdoba, major and intermediate forts were founded along the course of the Cuarto river.

Hence, this work analyzes how traditional strategies of power exercise operated in local communities which, represented corporately in the Cabildos, defended and sustained their prerogatives against the impositions of higher authorities. |
