|
l Dorado, happened native.
According to the studies of excavations and archaeological rescues made in zones like: San Ignacio, El Dorado, Apostles, San Pedro, etc., esteem that the territory missionary was inhabited from about 10,000 years back.
But the certain thing is that there are very few data; the greater information comes from archaeological findings like the one of stream Tres de Mayo; in a cave natural near that stream in that were axes of hand and other stone instruments, of similar stature to those of the European paleolítico.
The guaraníes natives who inhabited this ground, were hunters - recolectores and agriculturists (its main culture was mandioca).
The native ones that today inhabits missions, are Mbayá one of the three great groups ethnic that originally composed the guaraní town itself. The primitive guaraníes, developed three types of establishments: house-well and embankments complemented with funeral knolls, campings and temp campings in caves.
They made pieces of simple ceramics (earthen bowls and pots of cleared bases and conical and cylindrical glasses).
The tiestos, polished, were smooth of dark reddish brown color and scenery with geometric reasons (parallel, horizontal and cross-sectional lines). They also made great smoothing líticas axes and mortar hands. The family had an organization of absolute "the patriarcal" type and were under the command of a head or cacique to who they called "Tubicha".
In December of 1527, overcoming the river Parana, Sebastián Caboto one was with the jumps of Apipé. In 1541, Álvar Núnez Cabeza de Vaca discovered the Cataracts of the Iguazú and in name of the crown it thus took possession from earth, giving beginning, to a new stage in the history of Missions.
At the beginning of century XVII the conquerors tried to prevail by the force, but a strong resistance on the part of the natives was against to them. The Spanish government then, decided to try another colonialista strategy and ordered the catechizing of the natives to the Company of Jesus.
A process of concentration of the population begins therefore towards 1637 ends, with the Reductions.
The Reduction was a town integrated by indigenous communities reunited to be evangelizadas. According to jesuita priest Antonio González Dorado, three were objectives of the system of reductions: 1) the conversion to the Christianity of the unfaithful ones; 2) the salvation of the natives; 3) the pacification between Spaniards and natives.
The chieftainship was a guaraní traditional institution that stayed in the reductions. In some towns up to 50 one had caciques.Cada guarded by its subjects, becoming this task noble competition to improve each group. The reduction it was divided in districts and each district was one or several Chieftainships. Carlos III, king of Spain, by Real Certificate of the 27 of February of 1767 signs the expulsion of the Jesuitas of all his dominions, and is executed the order by Bucarelli, in that then governor of Buenos Aires (August 1768). The Jesuitas and Guaraníes accepted this execution pacifically.
In 1876 President Nicholas Avellaneda promulgates the Law of Immigration and Colonization. This law foments the immigration of European colonizadores with the purpose of to populate the extensive virgin territories with Argentina. In order to give fulfillment to this law different colonizadoras companies are created. One of them was Ci'a. Eldorado Colonizacio'n y Explotacio'n de Bosques Ltda. S.A. of Adolf Schwelm.
Thus it is as Eldorado is founded the 29 of September of 1919 by Don Adolph J. Schwelm, with port on the Alto Paraná.
Their agricultural colonies and experimental small farms are characteristic. The plantations of orange groves and pomelos and the harvest of grass kill, the mills and dryers for that product.  |
