PINERA RAMIREZ, David e ESPINOZA MELENDEZ, Pedro. Population Growth in Tijuana During the 1920s. An Approach from Censuses and Ecclesiastical Sources.Traduzido porErika Morales. Frontera norte [online]. 2023, vol.35, e2317. Epub 26-Jun-2023. ISSN 2594-0260. https://doi.org/10.33679/rfn.v1i1.2317.
The paper analyzes the population growth in Tijuana during the 1920s when the town had the highest growth rates in its history. We draw a demographic, territorial, and migratory profile using censuses and ecclesiastical sources, although both have limitations: the censuses, due to the changes in the municipal organization and the ecclesiastical because they do not cover the entire decade. However, both allow us to observe that this phenomenon was the result of migratory processes, explained by the border condition and Prohibition established in the United States. The census sources show that the phenomenon was not widespread along the border and that a working- age male population predominated in Tijuana’s service sector. The parish records show that the main places of origin of the migration to Tijuana were the entities of the Mexican Northwest and West.
