Caracas records Black and mulatto residents’ land lots

← Back to Dashboard
📅 22 November 1625 📍 Venezuela

Caracas cabildo records discussed lots given to Black and mulatto residents and later listed lots they purchased. The minutes offer evidence of Black and mixed-race residents making claims to urban space within a colonial order built on racial hierarchy and enslavement. The published summary does not identify every recipient’s legal status, so this entry does not treat all those named as free or enslaved.
