Abstract
SOMOHANO MARTINEZ, Lourdes. Population mobility in Tlachco/Queretaro XVI century and the beginning of the XVII century. Pap. poblac [online]. 2006, vol.12, n.49, pp.177-204. ISSN 2448-7147.
During the XVI and the beginning of the XVII centuries, an incessant population movement was registered in New Spain. The natives who were used to live under a dispersed urban population pattern were forced by the Spaniards to relocate in compact towns because they considered this form of life to be savage. The objective of the following work is to describe the continuous process of repopulation that happened in the town of 'Tlachco/ Queretaro', during the XVI and the beginning of the XVII centuries, causing by the Spanish population policies, the recurrent epidemics, the native congregation of native survivors and the following distribution of their unoccupied lands for the Spaniards.
