KOZUL, Pedro. Municipality of Parana: Context, Actors and Economic Aspects (1860-1862). Secuencia [online]. 2022, n.113, e1901.  Epub Apr 02, 2022. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i113.1901.

This article seeks to analyze the relationships forged between the municipality of Parana and other authorities and local actors, as well as the provincial government of Entre Rios, during the organization of the Argentine national state. We reconstruct their types of income, services, and sites for which they were responsible, the problems they had to address and the profiles of their municipalities. In addition, we examine the major jurisdictional transformations this city experienced after the federalization of its territory. We argue that the municipality was the first collegiate body, with its own resources and elected by the community of Parana, whose members accompanied the acquisition of powers and prerogatives that sought to concentrate a totally new institution in the River Plate area.
