This dissertation consists of an analytical-critical study about the construction of the historical local narrative of Guarapuava city, in Paraná State. With this purpose we took as primary sources written materials for teaching purposes and textbooks to be used in teaching the history of that city. We based our analysis on the theoretical framework of cultural history, trying to understand these materials within their contexts of production and authorship. The main focus was to observe the way the books show a model of identity of the person born in Guarapuava, serving as a space of representation of social portion in question. We also discussed issues concerning the teaching of history, observing how it was sought to legitimize a "version" on the local history from their school education. We realized that the model of identity that is presented is related to a partial view of history forged within the group which uses it to represent itself, thus establishing positions in the social structure. We further noted that this narrative presents in its construction elements that are part of the social imaginary, highlighting the figure of "heroes", politicians and pioneers, while, at the same time, establishing a place of the "other". It is possible to say that the model of identity of the guarapuavano , identified in the sources, although is placed as pattern, refers to a social group that represents themselves and maintain their social and political prestige, given that this story also serves as a means of maintaining and legitimizing the power of this group, being often used as the official history of Guarapuava
