This work is the product of Master’s thesis and is characterized by an emphasis on Oral History, a valuable tool in the analysis of the relationship between the individual life and a given social context. This method favours the creation of historical sources from testimonies, by contributing to the retrieval of memories and obtains unwritten documents. In this context, the respondent is considered an historical agent and his views on the experiences and social events forms part of the reconstruction of the recent past. Documents obtained by means of oral history allow the subject to remember and at the same time to legitimize the current story, which addresses the process of forming the João Batista / Vila Velha / ES district. The oral histories and the interpretation of these statements retell the history of employment and the formation of the district, a story told from the perspective of our object of study, the mangrove. We understand from his memories that it was raised by the occupants of the area from the 1980s to the present day, rebuilding times and spaces of different experiences, directly or indirectly in the struggle for housing. As Halbwachs teaches, the individual experiences witch form part of the collective build the background up of the formation process of a given municipal area. The research is supported by authors such as Walter Benjamin and Michel Pollak, who highlight the need for the existence of places of memory, because of the increasing scarcity in modern society practices that emphasize communication and the exchange of experience. The ability to narrate and hear may be in decline (or have already disappeared), and it is precisely because of this, that our search turns into a pursuit of experiences from within the district witch have meaning and a relevance.
