The first settlers in New Guinea were originally from the Pacific (León, Chinandega and Carazo) and Central Nicaragua (Chontales) who were brought by the Somoza government to reduce the pressure on the cotton plantations, displaced by the armed conflict and the crisis that coffee and cotton crops were experiencing; plus the volcanic activity of Cerro Negro. To this end, an Agrarian Reform was created, so that the families would be located in an orderly manner, granting them a title that accredited them as owners of a property. This was done by the IAN (Agrarian Institute of Nicaragua).Therefore, this essay considers some analytical categories that allowed organizing the information in a structured way and facilitated the interpretation of the results. Among these we can mention, the socio-political and economic crisis in western Nicaragua, Somoza's Agrarian Reform, the agrarian structure of the colonies, the evolution of cropping systems, the threat to sustainability and food sovereignty in the colonies of New Guinea. Its objective is to highlight the origin of the peasant families of New Guinea, in the Autonomous Region of the South Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua.It should be noted that the peasant families of New Guinea have evolved over time, changing the life strategies from which they originated, being resilient to new soil and climatic conditions, going from a dry climate to rains throughout the year, from agricultural soils to forest-oriented soils and produce their food and sustenance in them economic. The way in which these families organize themselves is admirable, changing strategies in the face of new challenges and falling prices of what they produce, to the point of becoming today one of the most thriving municipalities in the Southern Caribbean of Nicaragua.
