This historical geography is concerned with the developments which have taken place from the early sixteenth century, when Uruguay -- then called the Banda Oriental -- was considered "land without use value", until the beginning of the twentieth century when the foundations were laid for the "welfare state" which existed until the 1960s. The topics dealt with include the development of cattle ranching, arable farming, and private landownership; the foundation of settlements; the building of a physical infrastructure; the growth of the country's population; and the immigration and the role played by the immigrants in the development of the countryside.
