Abstract
This work is based on manuscript censuses and focuses on the characteristics and changes in the economy of the São Paulo town of Jundiaí, in the period 1799 - 1830. In particular, we deal with economic elements linked to occupational structure, production and trade. Slavery and land ownership are considered. In this period, the economy was changing, with considerable production for subsistence and regional markets, as well as important production send to more distant markets (represented on one side by the production and trade of corn and on the other side by sugar, the trade of mules is observed too).
