Abstract

This article discusses the forms of spatial occupation of Magallanes Region, set both by the native occupation pattern that responds to local ethnics, and the pattern established by the Republic in 1843.

The development of Patagonia and the city of Punta Arenas responded fundamentally to global forces backed up by appropriate local decisions up to end of the nineteenth century. The introduction of regular traffic between Europe and the Pacific, with regular stops in the Colony, together with policies of Free Port and incentives to immigration of national and international colonists influenced decisively on this development. The modest town turned into an important urban centre.
