Abstract
The purpose of this article is to carry out an initial assessment of inter-regional trade in Colombia, just when export development began in the middle of the 19th century. For this purpose, the economic information as recorded by the Corograph Commission headed by the military geograph Agustín Codazzi between January 1850 and February 1859 has been used as a source of documentation. The population and livestock registers on the site, as well as trade in products, made it possible to reconstruct certain economic characteristics of the various regions of the country in the middle of the 19th century. The text shows that the flows of inter-regional goods, especially geese and textile articles, were rather dense between certain regions of Colombia, especially in the eastern Andean region, to an extent that had perhaps not previously been revealed.
