RESUMO

This work has had as an aim to retrieve the historic process of the creation and running of textiles factories founded and installed in the town of Caxias by Companhia Industrial Caxiense (1883), Companhia União Caxiense (1889), Fábrica Sanharó (1891) and Companhia Manufatora Caxiense (1892). The historic importance of the Companhia Industrial Caxiense is highlighted for having been the first spinning and weaving industry in the state of Maranhão. We have tried to understand the developing cycle of Caxias textile industry within the scenery of Brazilian textile industrialization, and the economical conditions of the old Province of Maranhão and Caxias town, between the last quarter of the Nineteenth Century and the first half of the Twentieth Century. The amplitude of the theme has demanded an effort in the search of documentation identified in the archives of Caxias and São Luis-MA, with which the treads of this first systematization work have been woven
