This paper deals with the emergence of the Eixo Forte region and its journey towards becoming an Agroextractive Settlement Project in rural Santarém, Brazilian Amazon, to describe how its creation process took place, contextualizing with the Brazilian legal framework while emphasizing the contribution of this settlement for the socioenvironmental function of the land. The methodology used was supported by a bibliographic survey and documentary research. Thus, it is hoped that this study can contribute to the knowledge of the Eixo Forte region until the establishment of the settlement and its aspects of legal construction, serving as a scientific record of the history of the organization of settlers for the creation and protection of these lands.
