El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro y la colonización en la jurisdicción de las villas de San Miguel y San Felipe en el siglo XVI

The Camino Real de Tierra Adentro played a pivotal role in the colonization of northern territories during the 16th century, serving as a critical geographic and administrative framework for the establishment of villas like San Miguel and San Felipe. This study reveals how the route facilitated land grants for livestock ranching and agricultural activities, shaping the region's socio-economic landscape under Spanish rule. While its prominence waned by the mid-19th century, the path remained a dominant transit corridor until its eventual decline. The research draws on historical records to trace the Camino's influence on settlement patterns and governance in the area.
