Abstract


The aim of our research is to better understand the Guanajuato Town Council as well as to explore the town’s importance in eighteenth century Mexico. Since the mining industry was the greatest contributor to Guanajuato’s economy, the substantial population of miners constituted the most powerful group in the society. By analyzing the history of the mining industry in Colonial Mexico, this study demonstrates to what extent the town council reflected the socioeconomic network created by the mining elite.
