This article presents the demographic changes that occurred in Jacutinga and Iguaçu, parishes located in the Recôncavo da Guanabara, Rio de Janeiro, from the turn of the 18th century to the first decades of the 19th. It shows that such changes took place, also, due to the finding of noble metals in the interior of Brazil and, consequently, the roads that were opened connecting Rio to the region, which passed through both locations. One of the transformations was in the profile of the population, as there was an increase in the entry of foreigners, especially Africans and Portuguese, which, from sexual intercourse, originated a mestizo society, which occupied itself and (on) lived, mainly, from the production of food.
