This paper is a study about the population formation process in the town of Bayunca, with the purpose of contributing to the historiography of the Caribbean region, since it is well known that our region suffered a settlement process characterized in its majority by disperse people out of state control. That is, many of the places were integrated by "rochelas" composed of free people of all colors dispersed all over the region. Many of these towns were born within the big farms, as it is the case of the town of Bayunca, formed due to the decadence of the hacienda called "La Bayunca", composed of 8 "caballerías" of land and which belonged to Cosme Damián Zapata and Tomasa Calvo, as per public deeds Nos. 4, 5 and 16 of 1835.
