Abstract:
The rescue of the popular history of a certain place makes sense as an object of
study, when we seek to understand the major political and social transformations
generated over time, but which have contributed positively to a renewal in research
through various sources that prove the experiences of those who constituted the
real protagonists of historical knowledge. The present work presents a historical
account of the municipality of Pombal Estado da Paraiba, with an emphasis on
industrial development that contributes to the installation of one of the most
important companies: “A Brasil Oiticica S.A.”. During the process of exploring
Pombal lands, inhabited by indigenous people, a Portuguese bandeirante named
Teodósio de Oliveira Ledo in the middle of 1698 began colonization in Arraial de
piranhas, considered the first village that was founded in the Paraiba hinterland.
This work brings a research proposal based on historical documents about the
emergence of an important industry for the city of Pombal, its economic and social
contributions that marked the time of the old generations, safeguarding through the
records that were beautiful stories of those who did not live in 1930s, period of the
installation of Brasil Oiticica. Making access to information public is relevant to
meeting social needs, leaving marks of something that was part of the history of our
people. It is believed that this study may contribute to future research on the
proposed theme, improving discussions focused on the theme presented, in order
to seek historical, linguistic and photographic contributions through acquired
records, the history and memory of a society.
