The allocation of land was strongly affected by the immigration process. Despite a reasonable flow of people of Argentinian descent, there was a clear majority of foreigners, as per the census of 1895, 1912 and 1914. During the first years, the government carried out the colonization of this territory mainly by handing over land to ranchers from Magallanes and the Falkland Islands. As a consequence, over time a foreign sector was formed that evolved steadily and finally came to exceed the amount of native dwellers. Therefore, Santa Cruz became a "land of immigration", and this trait would forge a very particular kind of society. On the one hand, it retained a cosmopolitan allure, even when its inhabitants became deeply rooted. On the other hand, the area favoured a racial melting pot that shaped an interesting ethnic and cultural phenomenon. Many of these first- comers were truly immigrants who enlarged the workforce, while others were wealthy capitalists and investor's. Moreover, there was a heavy movement of labour that spanned from Magallanes to Santa Cruz. Cuando Santa Cruz nace como Territorio Nacional en 1884, comienza su poblamiento definitivo. La ocupación del espacio está marcada por la fuerte incidencia que la inmigración tiene en su proceso y, aunque se mantiene un cierto caudal de argentinos, la superioridad extranjera aparece manifiesta en los censos de 1895, 1912 y 1914. El territorio se coloniza en los primeros años principalmente a través de los ofrecimientos de tierras que se hacen a los hacendados de Magallanes y Malvinas. Como consecuencia, el sector extranjero adquiere predominio sobre el nacional a medida que pasa el tiempo. Así, este proceso convierte a Santa Cruz en una "tierra de inmigración", cuya mayoría foránea crea una sociedad singular: cosmopolita por un lado, pero generalmente arraigada, y por otro lado favorece una mezcla de razas que origina un interesante fenómeno étnico-cultural. Muchos de ellos pueden ser considerados elementos típicamente inmigrantes; otros eran fuertes capitalistas e inversionistas. Además se produjo un importante movimiento de traslación de mano de obra trabajadora desde Magallanes hacia Santa Cruz. Centro de Estudios Históricos Profesor Carlos S. A.
