Abstract: This article aims to present new information about the origin of the town and the name Calama. It also aims to demonstrate that, in the rubber economy, Calama participated in matrimonial alliances and cronyism, contributing to the formation of different political, economic and social power relations among the owners of the large rubber plantations. The research, carried out in 2024, falls within the field of documentary research mediated by bibliographic research. The study identified two divergent versions, between them, about the origin of the name and the town; it also identified the line of succession of owners of the Calama Rubber Plantation. The results of this research suggest new studies and new reflections on the origin of the name and the town of Calama, in order to contribute to the construction of the history of this locality.
