Abstract

This article aims to analyze the implementation and interaction of the three main transportation modes in southern Bahia during the first half of the 20th century: the Port of Ilhéus, the Ilhéus-Conquista Railway (EFIC), and the highways, with a special focus on the Ilhéus-Itabuna road. The research seeks to discuss the impact of these transportation systems on the region’s socioeconomic transformations, demonstrating how their coexistence led to both adaptations and conflicts. Furthermore, it proposes to investigate how the implementation and prioritization of these modes were not limited to technical criteria but also reflected political disputes and economic interests tied to the power structures of the time.

Keywords: Southern Bahia; Cocoa; Transportation; Port of Ilhéus; Ilhéus-Conquista Railway; Highways.
