The purpose of this paper is to explain the process of urbanization in Baja California Sur during the porfirian period, specifically in San Jose del Cabo, A town, which is located at the southern part of the peninsula. We resumed the idea that urban is a space that is characterized by the existence of a regular merchant trade, political and administrative function and relatively differentiated social organization. The text is divided into four sections where you can see that the urbanization process involved a legal order as the basis of the organization of space and the provision of public services.
