  • Mercado regional en el Golfo de California (1848-1910) Alfonso Guillén Vicente Estudios Territoriales sea trade railroads ocean navigation Cortez Sea trade California gold fever Maritime trade that emerged in the Gulf of Californiain the late 18th century consolidated during the first decades of the 19th century thanks to deep-sea navigation, whose axis was the port of San Blas, Nayarit, aswell as to trade carried out by the ships transporting agricultural and livestock products to the various destinations of the region. How ever, it took off once and forall owing to the gold fever in California, which allowed establishing regular routes that called at the ports of Guaymas, Mazatlán y La Paz.The urban development itself of these localities was a interesting market for the steamships sailing across the Pacific. Local merchants thus obtained a considerable capital which they invested in other productive sectors of the region, as well as strengthening the ties established among them.The arrival of the railroad in Sonora in the 1880s didn’t eclipse Guaymas completely, which played a important role as a regional business center for the rest of the century. As the Iron Horse reduced its costs and gained a good reputation among the Sonora mining and industrial sectors, and, above all, when the SouthPacific carried on toward the south, arriving in Sinaloa, the important regional market of the Gulf of California fell significantly. 2001 artículo científico 1870-3925 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=10202205 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=102 Región y Sociedad application/pdf El Colegio de Sonora Región y Sociedad (México) Num.22 Vol.XIII
