Description
En las tres últimas décadas del siglo XIX se dinamizaron varios procesos de colonización en las vertientes del departamento de Santander, Colombia. Conocida como serranía de los Yariguies, en su ladera occidental se dio la formación del municipio de San Vicente de Chucurí. Este trabajo presenta un acercamiento a la relación entre la construcción del camino entre Zapatoca y el río Magdalena, los usos de la tierra en algunos trayectos de su recorrido y la formación del proceso de colonización entre 1870 y 1910. Se destacan particularmente las razones que compartieron políticos y comerciantes con respecto a la construcción de la vía y el carácter con que se asumieron los problemas para mantener su funcionamiento.Palabras Clave: Santander, Camino de Barrancabermeja, colonización, San Vicente de Chucurí.
