Unlike the modes of settlement that were commonly raised during the [[New Spain|vice-regal period in New Spain]], which followed a [[missionary]] and [[Présidial|presidial]] structure, the new populations designed by [[José de Escandón, 1st Count of Sierra Gorda|José de Escandon]] had marked differences in the [[Culture|cultural]], [[social]], [[Politics|political]] and [[Economy|economic spheres]].<ref name=":0" />

The new populations that Escandon developed in the territory that is now known as Tamaulipas, called in the eighteenth-century New Santander, are based on ideas that have as a reference a way of exercising control over the [[Land development|development]] of the city and the territory, through its [[Production (economics)|economic production]]. The direct consequences of this form of [[urban design]] marked in New Spain the opening to a new way of consolidating a border territory.<ref name=":0" />

[[José de Escandón, 1st Count of Sierra Gorda|José de Escandon y Helguera]], developed cattle [[ranching]] extensively and in a limited way [[agriculture]], since for the most part "temporary" was practiced, and [[commerce]] also developed. The colonized territory was integrated and populated up to the [[Rio Grande]], configuring the map of what is now Tamaulipas.<ref name=":0" />

In addition, Escandon proposed the strategic location arrangements between each new population, a day away, which would facilitate that in cases of reoccurrence of attacks by the natives, could support each other. These are the characteristics that made the colonization of the New Santander transcendent; Although the reality did not always reflect the initial spirit of colonization, the model developed by José de Escandon proposed a new form of territorial occupation that had not been seen until the 18th century in New Spain.<ref name=":0" />
