estancia

Estancia

Estancia or Estância is a Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese term describing private landholdings. In some areas these were large rural with similarities to the English term ranch. In the early Caribbean and Mexico, holders of encomiendas acquire land in the area where they had access to Indian labor, and often the need for on-site Hispanic supervisors or labor bosses called estancieros. In Mexico, multiple estancias owned by the same individual could be termed an hacienda. The term estancia is used in various ways in Argentina, Uruguay, southern Chile and southern Brazil. The equivalent in other Spanish American countries would be hacienda, or in Brazil fazenda, Estancias in the southern South American grasslands, the pampas, have historically been a livestock estate. During the first centuries of Spanish colonial rule, cattle introduced by the Spanish in the peripheral areas of northern Mexico and the southern part of South America roamed free and there were periodic raids to catch and slaughter them.
