The extension of the city, rooted in Chilean farmer culture, makes it possible to reconstruct the edges of the territory and its urban-rural domain. Valparaiso, in the context of “city + harbor”, contains an orality that contributes to the understanding of its territory and the role of women in the appropriation of the city, declared a world heritage site in 2003 for its historic quarter. The study is based on the stories of the last farmer women who worked at the Hacienda Siete Hermanas until the middle of the 20th century. The Hacienda is now the Rodelillo Hill in Valparaiso, an heir and example of urban and architectural development based on massive waves of different colonies. In this context we observe the Hacienda, one of oldest institutions in Chile, and the presence of rural women made invisible who build the city from its edges.
Keywords: city + port, edges, extension of the city, women.
