- Abstract
With the creation of the Department of Valle del Cauca in the year of 1910, the local elite – responsible for the management of the new territorial entity– supported the strengthening of various political and economic institutions that would allow the positioning of the region within the national concert. In this text, we analyze the results of these efforts in terms of efficient management configuration, the increase of productivity and improvement of the social conditions of the people. We do analysis based on the posted information, during 1917, the first Departmental Statistical Bulletin (Boletín de Estadística); particularly significant document within the studied process. The leadership of the period conceived the construction of evidence, through the statistics, as a necessary input to decision-making.
