| Sumario: | The origins of the population of Carmen de Patagonesgo back to 1779, when the military plaza was created, andthen transformed into the military and political command’sheadquarters in 1785. Due to the singularity of its originand unlike other similar frontier areas, the population wasorganized outside the castilian institutional model of territorialcommunities endowed with town halls or “ayuntamientos”.However, what sources reveal is that, within the frameworkof particular local conditions, there were instances of politicalparticipation of the settlers that took place in defense of groupinterests, through petitions to the authorities of the Bourbonmonarchy. Through the available documentation held at theNational General Archive of Argentina, these instances areanalyzed as a way for the population to express themselves interms of a republic, examining, at the same time, some aspects thataccount for it. |
