Abstract

The article examines aspects of the supply trade in the city of Diamantina, in the decades between 1880 and 1930. It emphasizes the role of caravan drivers and the Municipal Market, as well as the conflicts between authorities and local wholesalers. It also discusses the reasons for the longevity of this region’s caravan activity, whose decline occurred in the 1950s, causing the loss of importance of the Municipal Market in local supply activities.
